NYC Resistor

We learn, share, and make things

Participate

Participate: We like friendly people who like to think about how things work.

Craft Night happens almost every Thusday. We also teach classes and have occasional parties where we dress up. Come by and say hi during a public event, we’d be happy to meet you and show you around. You can check the calendar to see what events we’ve got coming up, join our Facebook group and read this blog to stay informed.

Lunar Lazzzor Night happens almost every Monday. Come by and laser something up, and mingle with other like-minded lasererers. Check the calendar to see what events we’ve got coming up, join our Facebook group and read this blog to stay informed.

Web Dev Study Group *also* meets almost every Monday.  It’s a gathering for folks who are learning web tech stuff and don’t want to stuggle through alone!  Bring a small project to work on (or be prepared to brainstorm one up when you get here).  Check the calendar to see if it’s going on this week.

Membership: Resistor is a private space in which members pay monthly dues. Membership to the core group of NYC Resistor is invite-only. If you’re interested in joining, come get to know us. We have a bunch of public events like Craft Nights and provide space for a couple of other groups. Come and learn, share what you’re hacking on, and meet other NYC resistors. After a while if we have a space open in the group and it’s a good fit, you may be invited to be a member.

Friends of NYCR is a way for non-members to support NYCR. It is completely optional, and immensely appreciated.  If you enjoy our public events, classes, and craft nights, consider becoming a Friend of NYCR.

    Hi it’s nice to hear about NYC Resistor and all your work, I move to NYC , I’m from Ecuador, South America, I don’t speak English at all and I wanna participate in your community but I don’t know if there’s a problem with my English skills?

    Thank you and congratulations

    I live in Phoenix Arizona and would like to find out if you know of a similar group out here. I work at a local theater as a set builder, actually work is the wrong word as I volunteer there to build the sets. I am always looking for ways to make sets work on a very limited budget.

    Ah! this site is not iPad friendly. The font is the same color as part of the background. Please fix. This site looks like it rules and I wanna read it!

    Markalanb,

    I realize that I'm replying to an old post, but just in-case you haven't found it already, there is a hackerspace in Phoenix called Heatsynclabs.org stop by and check us out (if you haven't already.)

    cheers,

    If you have a friend who speaks better English, even if they don't speak Spanish, you'll want to bring them. If you were able to type that without a translation dictionary, you'll be able to meet some people even if you don't end up getting to talk about projects.

    Do I have to be a member to attend a workshop?

  • http://www.herbhoover.com/ Herb

    No, you do not have to be a member. These are public workshops. Please attend!

    I’d argue that the iPad is not web friendly, rather than the other way around.

    Is there an age minimum for classes? Would my relatively mature 12 year old be able to participate in some beginner workshops?
