Do any of these ring true for you?

  • Passionate about technology or what it can do for us?
  • Design it, make it, build it, share it?
  • Invent, innovate or create social change with it?
  • Play with it, have fun with it, or simply consume it?

Join us for an informal and infectious mix of grassroots innovation, social action and technology.  Get The GIST on the first Wednesday evening of every month.


The GIST Magazine incorporates GeekUp Sheffield and features a range of content drawn from the projects, groups and activities of the GIST Community and the wider grassroots technology scene. If you’d like to share something at the Magazine, pick up a Contributor ticket or get in touch.
