TLH Hackerspace Village

From LastHope

The Last HOPE's Hackerspace Village is a fully functioning temporary hacker space! Folks involved in hacker spaces and their friends are coming together to build a workshop, project space and social area.

Members of hacker spaces and the DIY community from around the world will be hosting classes, workshops, project demos and many other events throughout the conference.

Hacker space founders, members and planners will be on hand to offer practical experience and inspiration to anyone looking to build a hacker space in their community. The Village also hopes to help unite existing hacker spaces and hacker space efforts.

If you're interested in running a project, demo or fun social event, e-mail hackerspace@hope.net for more details or sign up below!!

[edit] Workshops & Projects

[edit] Microcontroller Workshop

Mitch Altman be giving an ongoing workshop, teaching people how to build cool things with microcontrollers. We'll have tables full of solder irons, and even people who have never built anything at all (or even sewn a button before!) will be able to build some fun projects to take home with them, including Brain Machines, TV-B-Gones, and Mignonette games. More info on projects at CornfieldElectronics.com (click on the 'maker faire' button).

[edit] Circuit Bending

Texarkana Institute of Technology- T.I.T. will provide tools, devices and parts for HOPE attendees at no cost to experiment with circuit bending. Attendees can bring their on noisy electronic devices or component parts such as potentiometers to share with others. We hope to show people how we share space, tools, and ideas with each other.

[edit] Live Connection to Metalab!

We will have a live interactive video feed to Metalab in Austria! See the Metalab in action! Interact with members of Vienna's hacker space.

[edit] HackersMart

HacDC will run a little "general store" with (hopefully) all the goodies you didn't realize you'd forgotten. Blank media, printing service, electronics parts and tools, etc. Head on over to HackersMart and edit the list!
