The Egg Club

- METU, Ankara
Built with love by people from
01 What is this
The Egg Club is a Sunday ritual for people who’d rather make something than talk about making something.
02 Who comes
A different mix every time.
You don’t need to be a founder, an engineer, or even sure what you want to make. You just need to be curious and a little impatient.
— everyone has a reason to be here
Ankara has almost six million people. Somehow you’re still building alone at 2am.
03 A day at the club
Morning to evening,
roughly.
One egg, 10:30 → 20:00. Not to scale.
04 House rules
The rules of Egg Club.
Recited at 11:00, before anyone opens a laptop.
-
The first rule of Egg Club
You DO talk about Egg Club.
-
The second rule of Egg Club
You DO talk about Egg Club.
-
The third rule of Egg Club
If someone yells “it works!”, everyone stops and looks.
-
And the last rule
If this is your first Sunday at Egg Club, you have to build.
Is it really free?
Yes. No ticket, no fee, no catch. The pizza’s on us too.
Who can come?
Anyone curious who wants to make something. Students from any university (ODTÜ, Bilkent, Hacettepe…), people with jobs and people between them, designers, developers, hardware tinkerers, researchers, musicians. You don’t have to be from ODTÜ, and you don’t have to have built anything before.
Do I need a team, an idea or skills?
No, no and no. At 11:00 anyone can pitch an idea in sixty seconds, and by 11:30 teams form around the ones that sound most fun. Bring an idea if you have one; join someone else’s if you don’t. First-timers are welcome — just come to make something, not to watch.
What should I bring?
A laptop and its charger. An idea, or none. Whatever your project needs — a breadboard, a sketchbook, a guitar. Bring a power strip and you’re instantly everyone’s favourite.
Where exactly?
On the ODTÜ (METU) campus in Ankara. The exact room — and anything you need to know about getting onto campus — comes with your confirmation.
Turkish or English?
Both. Pitch, build and demo in whichever you’re comfortable with. Someone will always translate the jokes.
What about food?
Sandwiches, pizzas and snacks are on us. Vegetarian, vegan, allergic, or eating something specific? Email theeggclubb@gmail.com before Sunday and we’ll do our best — and bring a snack of your own, just in case.
Can I come for part of the day?
Life happens, so yes. But ideas get pitched and teams form at 11:00, and everyone shows what they built at 19:00. Try to catch both.
How do you pick who comes?
We read every application ourselves and aim for a good mix of people. If it’s not this Sunday, there’s another one two weeks later.
Can I bring a friend?
Please do. Everyone applies on their own, so send them the link — there’s a button for that just below.
How do I hear about the next one?
Every date goes up on app.the-egg.club, and the next one shows up on this page too. Make an account there and you’re one tap away when applications open.
06 Get in the carton
Bring a laptop.
Leave with a thing.
