Regular meetups
A couple of hours after school or on a weekend: check in on ongoing projects, help each other with problems, show what you’ve been tinkering with. Low pressure, high curiosity.
Meetups & workshops
Learning is a team sport.
RouteHack happens in person, in Düsseldorf. We’re still organizing the community — no dates are set yet — but here’s exactly what we’re building towards, and how to make sure you hear about it first.
Upcoming
Real dates will appear here as soon as they exist — automatically, once an organizer adds them to the events list.

We’re getting things started. Join the community to hear about our first meetups and workshops.
What it will look like
Hands-on workshops
A guided afternoon on one topic — your first Linux install, your first SSH login, your first captured packet. Beginner-friendly by design: we explain every command before we run it.
Weekend builds
Bigger sessions where we take on a whole project in one or two days — set up the lab network, deploy a service, break it, fix it, document it. The closest thing to a hackathon, minus the pitch decks.
What we won’t do
- No lectures you could have watched on YouTube.
- No prior-knowledge gates — every session states what you need to know, and “nothing” is a valid answer.
- No fake competitions with prize pools. We build things because they’re interesting.
Working with schools & organizations
We’d love to cooperate with schools and youth organizations in Düsseldorf — for rooms, for workshops, or for giving students a place to explore technology beyond the classroom. Nothing is confirmed yet; if you can help open a door, we’d genuinely like to hear from you.
Want a seat at the first meetup?
Join the interest list and you’ll be among the first to know when we pick a date and a room. That’s the whole deal — no spam, no obligation.
