Hacktoberfest Meetup Athens x FEAScript
Hacktoberfest 2026
Charilaou Trikoupi 18 5th Floor Athens, Attica 10679 Greece
Event Description
Join FEAScript for Hacktoberfest Meet Up in Athens x FEAScript, a small in-person gathering for people interested in open-source, JavaScript and computational mechanics.
FEAScript is an open-source finite element simulation library written in JavaScript that runs directly in the browser, no installation required. In this hands-on Meet Up we will look at how an open-source scientific computing project works from the inside: how the code is organised, how contributions are made and how anyone can get involved.
No previous experience with Git, GitHub or FEAScript is required (It would however help if you create a GitHub account before the event). Engineers, developers, researchers and students are all welcome. Please bring your own laptop
