Fourth of July is fast approaching, but before you kick off the long weekend by heading out to your favorite firework viewing spot, come on out to a tech meetup or two. Here are a few events we're hoping to make it to, and as usual, you can check out all the tech meetups taking place in Washington, DC, here. 

Tuesday, July 17:30 - 11:30 pm

HacDC: This group meets weekly to play with technology and see what else they can do with it. If you're an inventor and tinkerer at heart, don't miss this meetup.

Wednesday, July 26:00 - 8:30 pm

A New Organizing Institute Happy Hour: After a day of training activists on ways to rally supporters and use technology in their work, the group is heading out for drinks. The happy hour is open to everyone, so stop by to hear about the  strategies they're discussing.
