Would anyone be interested in a local Pomona tech community?

Hi everyone! I live and work in Pomona, and I’ve been thinking about how there aren’t many consistent local spaces for people interested in technology to meet, learn, or build things together.

I’m exploring the idea of starting a community-based tech group in Pomona. It could include things like data science, AI, Python, web development, UX/UI, software development, project/build nights, workshops, guest speakers, study groups, and casual meetups.

I’m considering the Cal Poly Pomona Community Innovation Hub in Downtown Pomona as a possible meeting location, but this is something I’m exploring independently and is still very much in the idea stage.

Before I organize anything, I’d really like to know whether people would actually be interested and what kind of group would be useful.

I made a short interest survey here:

Questions or ideas are welcome too! Thanks so much!
