What is Tech Shed Frome?

A group of technology enthusiasts that meet each week in social space to ‘tinker’. We believe that if we put together people who love technology we can make some useful things for the community.

What do you mean by technology?
Everything from Arduinos, Raspberry Pi, drones, soldering, programming, lasers, websites, apps, VR, 3d printers. See our .

Give us a challenge!
If you think you've got a local community problem that needs fresh thinking, or drop in and say hello.

Can I chat to someone before I come?

Sure, drop the Tech Shed team a message before and we will do our best to make you feel at home.

Will you fix my laptop or tech kit?

We don’t fix stuff on our own, but if you bring it along you may find another member can help or give you pointers. It can be your next project.

I don’t feel very confident about technology am I welcome?

Yes! Whilst we don’t offer lessons or any courses, if you are willing to try, mess it up and try again, a member will be happy to show you the basics. You might also be interested in coming to a more structured open day.
