Hardware Hack Night: Museum Exhibits
The theme for tonight's hardware hack night is around Museum exhibits: If you could design a virtual or physical museum exhibit around what you are hacking on at SudoRoom, what would it look like?
You can prototype your design in Blender and then print them out on our 3D printers, or make a small model using the laser cutter, or sew a small set. The only limits are your imagination!
Inspired by Museums Around Us
This is also a great opportunity to explore exhibits at places like the Exploratorium in San Francisco or online at the Deutsches Museum (their Physics museum theme has a recreation of Galileo's workshop)
Hack on Anything and Everything
○ Projects: can range from building course materials for teaching local kids electronics to a robotic arm that draws, to light projection art, to people building their own microchip boards! We provide the space, tools and peer learning – you bring your project and enthusiasm!
○ Group Sewing: Learn to do simple mending or get help with technical fabric and textile projects. In addition to regular machines our Sewing Lab features heavy-duty industrial sewing machines and sergers. Our in house sewing guru CC has worked for Academy or Art College, Tesla, SuitX, and Zipline and has vast sewing machine repair and maintenance experience; bring your own machine to tune up for tip-top operation and sew alongside others.
○ General Repair: Fix it Clinic’s weekly Oakland residency: bring your broken, non-functioning things – electronic gadgets, appliances, computers, toys, sewing machines, fabric items, etc.– for assessment, disassembly, and possible repair. We’ll provide workspace, specialty tools, and guidance to help you disassemble and troubleshoot your item. First-time repairers and “Fixing Families” are heartily invited.
