Summer Makers Day July 2019

We're holding a "Summer Makers Day" on Saturday the 27th of July from 12:00 - 18:00.

This will be a large open day where people can have a look around the hackspace to see what we get up to, and be tempted to become members if they aren't already ;-)

We've got many of our regular members showing up specifically for this day to show case the amazing hackspace and what it has to offer:

• GB4LHS radio demo for those interested in "amateur" radio and talking with people on the other side of the planet!
• Woodwork demos in the well equipped wood working space
• A comprehensive but brief laser cutter demo
• A 6 axis robot printing demo
• See our amazing microscopic world in the biolab (via some microscopes) and chat about all things biotech, etc!
• USB morse key/challenge
• A couple of the metal bashers around to talk and demo welding, milling and turning
• Drinks ? Food ?
• Pecha Kucha - There will be a Pecha Kucha starting at 2pm in the classroom open to all members and non-members alike. Confirmed speakers include:

           *Maryam Ahmed:
           *Cass M:
           *Des Quilty: Metal Working at the Hackspace
           *Erica Calogero: Using Rhino to design a parametric table stand and using the laser cutter and 3d printer to build it....
           *Nick Reynolds: 
           *Maheemal Thilakarathne: 6 axis robot arm

What is the Hackspace?

A communal space for people who make things... because EVERYTHING has user-serviceable parts inside and we're not allowed to do this stuff in the house either.
