About this Event
Tuesday Needs a Reset Button

January is rough. The holidays are over, resolutions feel overwhelming, and Tuesday? Tuesday hits especially hard by the second week of January.

We're making Tuesdays not suck.

Tech Reset Tuesday is a 4-week habit-building campaign. One small step each Tuesday toward clearing tech clutter. The final Tuesday (Jan 27), we come together at Reboot Hour to release devices, connect with people, and feel good doing it.


Feel Good Three Ways

✅ PERSONALLY
De-stress. Play pool, pinball, board games. Reboot your week with drinks and zero pressure.

✅ PROFESSIONALLY
Meet founders, engineers, builders, and tech folks. Network through games, not forced conversations or business card exchanges.

✅ ALTRUISTICALLY
Your old phone or laptop becomes someone else's opportunity. We professionally wipe all devices—your data is safe, and your impact is real.


What to Expect

📍 Location: Carpool Ballston – 4000 Fairfax Dr, Arlington, VA 22203 (upstairs game area)
Time: Tuesday, January 27, 2026 | 6:00-8:00pm
💰 Cost: FREE (buy your own drinks if you want them)
🎮 Activities: Pool, pinball, board games, conversation
📱 Bring (optional): Old phones, laptops, tablets, chargers

Ground Rules:

  • Drop in anytime between 6-8pm
  • Stay 20 minutes or stay the whole time—both are good
  • No presentations, pitches, or forced networking
  • Device donation appreciated but NOT required
  • Come alone or bring friends

This is an anti-networking event. You might accidentally make meaningful connections through pool or pinball. That's the point.


Tech Reset Tuesday: The Journey

Week 1 (Jan 6): NOTICE – Find one old device
Week 2 (Jan 13): PREPARE – Back it up or assess what's on it
Week 3 (Jan 20): RESET – Wipe the device or bookmark the guide
Week 4 (Jan 27): RELEASE – Bring to Reboot Hour & feel the weight lift

Low pressure. High impact. That's how we do it.


Who Should Come

✓ Tech professionals, startup founders, engineers, designers
✓ Anyone tired of formal networking events
✓ People with old tech collecting dust and guilt
✓ Social impact / sustainability-minded folks
✓ Anyone who wants to make Tuesday not suck

Hosted by eWaste Warriors – A nonprofit fighting loneliness and e-waste through community connection.

Questions? Just show up on the 27th. We'll figure it out together.
