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

  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.

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.

  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,

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!

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

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

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

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

  Hi – I am not at all affiliated with the good folks of NYC Resistor, and I hope they don’t mind my spreading the word about my own program on their site, but the Lab for Robotics Education is organizing a free robotics summer program for NYC high school students this summer – you should check us out at http://thelare.org/ and encourage your child to apply! Thanks!

Are there any classes on how to use a mill, CNC or manual? Any suggestions where I can learn to use one?

Does the Web Dev Study group still meet weekly? I don’t see it on the Calendar.
Kate, please ask raf, ok?

What time are the strippers coming?

Hello, i’m ben, french user of the TMP/Lab, and i have plan to go visiting you tonight 21, around 7pm, is it possible? Should i bring some beer (french tradition, US too?). I’m a robot addict, focused on LEGO NXT & TETRIX, but 3D printing interessed me a lot, to enable new pieces not provided by LEGO, electronic based hack for new sensors, and SDR.
Stuart Uram

I am working on a project to 3-D print ceramics and looking for an association with some one interested in ceramics, modelling and has mechanical skills. Not all required, I can supply some of each. Could lead to a part time or full time job.

  I’m curious about your project. Are you making a printer ? – Joseph

Hi! NYC Resistor looks awesome. Just wondering, what happens at Craft Night? Is it sort of a hack on whatever you want event, or is there a planned activity? Should I be bringing my own materials? Thanks! (Also, @Eric Skiff – I love your music! I listen to the Resistor Anthems all the time. )

  Hi Nicole! Thanks – so glad you like the tunes!
  Craft night is generally a time when people bring their own projects and hack around the tables and ask each other for advice and help on what they’re hacking on.
  
  That said, we do have a new project that’s on the wall expressly to be hacked on by craft night attendees! The Glowpanel is 40 superbright pixels of diffused color awesomeness and waiting for you to hook it up with animations, etc!
