PCB of the Hackweek "Train of thought" Logo that blinks
The windows of the train have the copper layer and the mask removed, so the LEDs will shine from behind the windows and make a blinking party train.
The loop above the head of the Geeko is a hanger so you can clip it onto your regular conference badges.

Questions
How big is the Geeko PCB?
It measures 100 × 87 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.
What parts does the Geeko use?
7 parts. The full list of its parts is on this page, with links to each part's symbol and footprint where PCBKit's library has them.
Where can I download the Geeko KiCad files?
From the ca-hu/HackweekGeekoPCB repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is Kicad-Files/Geeko.kicad_pcb and its schematic Kicad-Files/Geeko.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.
Can I use the Geeko design in my own project?
Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask ca-hu before reusing the design.
