Come experiment with VHS tapes and audio cassettes! We'll have equipment on hand for analog-to-digital and digital-to-analog transfers. Register:

If you're curious about DJing but don't have money to drop on equipment, this workshop is for you! You'll learn to use Mixxx, a free and open source DJ program for macOS, Windows, and Linux. Mixxx supports a wide range of DJ controller hardware, but to make it more accessible we're using regular QWERTY keyboards […]

Make a rechargeable battery pack for your LoRa node, a microcontroller such as an ESP32 or Pi Pico, or anything that runs on 3–4 Volts. Perfect for folks who've never soldered before! To complete this project you'll need to buy a li-ion battery pack kit for $3.99. Here's what it includes: • 18650 battery clip […]

For this class we're building a spinning top toy with LED lights that flash when it spins. No previous soldering experience required! Registration    

We're meeting every two weeks to discuss classics of anarchist literature, starting with Anarchism and Other Essays by Emma Goldman and The Conquest of Bread by Peter Kropotkin. Stay tuned for more details!

Join us and build a tiny solar-powered square wave generator on a breadboard. No soldering required! The workshop is free to attend, but you'll need to purchase a kit for $12.50 to complete the project. Here's a link to the how-to zine we'll use. And here's a diagram of the oscillator circuit we'll build: Register:

In this workshop you’ll build a digital notebook, a pocket-sized device for taking notes with a USB keyboard. We’re using affordable, widely available components: a Seeed XIAO ESP32-S3 microcontroller, a 1-inch OLED display, and a microSD card reader, arranged on a solderless breadboard. The ESP32-S3 connects to the display via the I2C (Inter-Integrated Circuit) protocol, […]

Our July book is Ada Hoffman's new Ignore All Previous Instructions, and we'll wrap up our summer with Louise Erderich's Future Home of the Living God in August.
