LogJam is a hands-on hackathon where wood meets technology, creativity, and craftsmanship. Over the course of a dynamic afternoon, participants from across TWIG’s wood innovation network will team up with MakerLabs members and fellow makers to imagine bold new ideas made from wood.
Armed with access to MakerLabs’ fully equipped WoodLab, precision tools, and digital fabrication equipment, teams will brainstorm, prototype, and test inventive projects that combine wood with other technologies and materials. To kick things off, the TWIG team will lead a BC Wood show-and-tell, highlighting opportunities for wood product design and introducing participants to the unique qualities of BC wood species.
From seasoned woodworkers to curious creatives, LogJam is all about collaboration, skill-sharing, and turning raw ideas into inspired possibilities for the future of wood. Join us for a creative afternoon of imaginating, hands-on building, and discovering the endless potential of wood.

Connecting people to inspire innovation in wood since 2012.
TWIG operates on the unceded territories of the Indigenous Peoples who have lived in deep relationship with the lands and forests we now call British Columbia since time immemorial. We recognize and honour the enduring stewardship, knowledge, and cultures of these Nations—whose care over generations shaped the very forests that gave rise to BC’s forestry industry. We also acknowledge the devastating impacts of colonization, including the near-erasure of many old-growth ecosystems and the displacement of Indigenous communities and cultural practices connected to these ancient forests.
As we work to shape the future of BC’s forest products industry, we are committed to pathways that integrate Indigenous perspectives, support cultural resurgence, and foster a renewed relationship to land, materials, and community—one grounded in respect, regeneration, and transformative change.
