​A kitchen scale that tracks you—for good? ​

​Come to Recurse Center's June Localhost!

​Localhost is a series of technical talks in NYC given by members of the Recurse Center community. For every event, we set aside seats for the public.

​June 3, 2025: Hyperscale with Jessie Grosen

​Jessie augmented her countertop scale with an ESP32 and a display to keep track of numbers for her while she bakes. She'll tell you about what went into it, the iterative design process, and the pretty-new embedded UI language she used. But she'll also offer reflections on getting out of the mindset of building a commercial product and on how to enhance, rather than deskill, a fun activity.

​🧁🧁🧁

​Doors open and snacks and refreshments will be available at 6:30 pm. Jessie’s talk will begin at 7:00 pm with a subsequent Q&A session. More snacks and refreshments to follow.

​This event is in-person only. A recording of the talk will be made available on the Recurse Center YouTube channel.
