Making tech available to non-technical babes.

There U Glow provided a vibrant and inclusive theme camp at SOAK, Oregon’s regional Burning Man event. We were dedicated to fostering a welcoming and empowering space for individuals of all backgrounds to explore the world of LED, tech, and crafting.

With a focus on dismantling gatekeeping and embracing non-technical and traditionally marginalized communities, There U Glow offered a 35′ covered public space filled with interactive opportunities. Attendees engaged in workshops, including a “beginner’s guide to addressable LEDs,” lockpicking, and soldering, as well as explore a diverse range of crafting areas.

The camp provided a large fix-it station equipped with tools and materials, hosted a hardware swap pile, and promotes sustainability through solar power education. The aesthetic is a beautiful and organized rainbow of LEDs, making their camp both visually enticing and a source of knowledge and community engagement, embodying the spirit of SOAK.
