Join us for a hands-on introduction to screen printing! In this workshop, we’ll cover the basics of the process and walk through each step of creating a screen. Using vinyl stencils, we’ll quickly make screens and print custom designs onto t-shirts. You’ll get a chance to practice setting up, inking, and pulling prints, and by the end, you’ll have your own shirt to take home.

If you’d like, you can bring a simple vector design (think bold shapes and clean lines) to use for your screen. Otherwise, we’ll have some designs ready for you to choose from. No prior experience is necessary—just bring your creativity and a t-shirt you’d like to print on. New shirts can also be purchased during the workshop.

This workshop will be taught by two instructors:

Woody Poulard (aka GRNCH) is a Brooklyn-based artist/musician whose work focuses on generative audio-reactive visual installations and performances. He uses creative coding applications like TouchDesigner to generate real-time visuals, Blender for 3D design, and Ableton for music production. Trained in both audio and mechanical engineering, Woody also makes physical sculptures using digital fabrication techniques like 3D printing, laser cutting, and CNC routing.

Mean Gene is a member at NYC Resistor, an anti-surveillance advocate, an artist, designer, printmaker, and the head of product at a small cybersecurity startup

In this hands-on workshop, participants will learn to solder and build their very own ArduTouch music synthesizer from a kit!

In this hands-on workshop, participants will learn to solder and build their very own ArduTouch music synthesizer from a kit—no prior experience required!

ArduTouch is an Arduino-compatible music synthesizer kit with a built-in touch keyboard and built-in speaker/amplifier. Build it, and it works! It’s super affordable, yet powerful, and comes pre-programmed with “Thick,” a 4-voice sawtooth synth that delivers phat, layered sounds right out of the box.

Along the way, we’ll cover the basics of how it all works, including an introduction to Digital Signal Processing (DSP) for total beginners. Once your synth is built (and we guarantee it will work—whether you finish during the session or at home later), you’ll get to explore its sound-shaping potential.

The fun doesn’t stop there: the ArduTouch also comes with an Arduino library packed with features and a collection of amazing example synths. With 10 different synthesizers available—from lush pads and drones to glitchy noise, sequencers, and psychedelic textures—you’ll have endless sonic worlds to explore.

To wrap things up, we’ll walk through how to reprogram your ArduTouch so you can load new synths or even start designing your own instruments. For those who want to go further, the included documentation is a gentle introduction to DSP and audio generation.

This workshop is designed for total newbies, so whether you’re into DIY electronics, experimental music, or just want to make some wild sounds, you’ll leave with a working synth and the knowledge to keep hacking on it.

Just a screening and little hangout to watch my Mailbox Explorer documentation / employee training video

You’ve Got Mail: A Screening of “U.S. Mail Computer System: Mailbox Explorer”

Step into an alternate reality where the U.S. Postal Service is powered by a bizarre, retro-futuristic operating system.
Join us for a special screening of the short film, “U.S. Mail Computer System: Mailbox Explorer.”

This film is an “employee training video” pulled directly from the archives of the fake tech company, NERKTEK.
Be prepared to re-imagine the world around you, starting with the familiar blue mailbox – elevated from simple street furniture to a celebrated community artifact at the heart of this strange digital system.

What began as an experiment in data visualization in TouchDesigner using 3D scanned point clouds, turned into an obsessive project in urban archiving to capture every mailbox in Ridgewood, Queens.
From there, it evolved into a fully realized interactive art installation—a fake operating system, a physical workstation for postal employees (debuted at the NYC Resistor 2025 Interactive Art Show), and finally, this film.

This screening explores the convergence of new and old technologies, alternative futures, and the hidden beauty of our city’s street furniture.

Who should attend? Anyone interested in:

  • Experimental Film & Video Art
  • Retro-Futurism & Speculative Design
  • NYC History & Urban Exploration
  • 3D Scanning, Creative Tech, and Interactive Art

Don’t miss this journey into a past that never was. Your training begins now.

Join us for a curated double feature of Soviet cinema — starting with an animated short and followed by a full-length classic.

Ever wonder what Soviets were really watching?
Not propaganda reels, but the things we gathered around the TV for, sang along to, quoted with friends. Join us for a curated double feature of Soviet cinema — chosen by a real Soviet woman — starting with an animated short and followed by a full-length classic.

These are the films that filled our living rooms and playground chatter: whimsical adventures, sharp comedies, tender romances, and surreal flights of fancy.

These are the films that filled our living rooms and playground chatter: whimsical adventures, sharp comedies, tender romances, and surreal flights of fancy. We’ll pull from favorites like Здравствуйте, я ваша тётя! (Hello, I’m Your Aunt!), Чиполлино (Cipollino), Москва слезам не верит (Moscow Does Not Believe in Tears), Бременские музыканты (The Bremen Town Musicians), Винни-Пух (Winnie-the-Pooh), and Барон Мюнхгаузен (The Very Same Munchhausen).

Masks required for everyone’s safety — bring your curiosity, a good respirator (KN95/N95 or better which we can provide), and maybe a friend who’s never seen anything quite like this. In the support of our masks required community, if you are sick, please stay home.

Your hosts:

Anna Zagerson came to the U.S. from Gomel, Belarus when she was two and a half years old. Her childhood was deeply steeped in Soviet movies, cartoons, and the Russian language. The classics never left her personal zeitgeist, and she is looking forward to introducing you and cohost Gene (also from the USSR) to her favorites.

Oct 19 2025 : Two Sides of the Same Coin: Transacting Privately with Cryptocurrency

 classes  Comments Off on Oct 19 2025 : Two Sides of the Same Coin: Transacting Privately with Cryptocurrency
Sep 242025
 
Learn to use a special class of cryptocurrency options called privacy coins, with a practical focus on privacy, reliability, and simplicity.

When cryptocurrency was first popularized by the emergence of Bitcoin, it made promises to ordinary folks to disintermediate economic transactions from entrenched middlemen like central banks or credit card companies who have long been pushing for a “cashless” future. Instead, consumer services like Venmo and CashApp have come to fill this desire, but using them comes with the same risks as relying on the big players: a lack of privacy and a dependence on centralized actors that might betray and de-bank you, punish you for chargebacks.

As both a buyer and a seller, the ideal would be a way to transact remotely the way debit or credit cards work, but with the privacy, reliability, and simplicity of physical cash. In this cryptocurrency primer, we’ll get straight at the heart of the issue: learning how to acquire, swap, and spend digital currencies that cannot be traced and that no one can prevent you from using in the future.

You’ll be introduced to a special class of cryptocurrency options called privacy coins—specifically Zcash and Monero—whose opaque ledger systems differ from Bitcoin’s transparent ledger to protect your financial data, and why that is the key distinction allowing you to transact privately and discreetly. You’ll also learn the lay of the land when it comes to the broader cryptocurrency ecosystem, including methods for storing your funds safely, evaluating custodial and self-custody “wallet apps,” getting a feel for Know-Your-Customer (KYC) techniques, and becoming familiar with which cryptocurrency exchanges you can use more privately than others, preparing you for navigating the world of “crypto” better than HODL gang Bitcoin bros.

Who is this for?

Anyone with an interest in cryptocurrency and a proclivity for financial freedom and independence.

Your instructors:
Tech Learning Collective is an apprenticeship-based technology school for radical organizers founded in New York City that provides a security-first IT infrastructure curriculum to otherwise underserved communities and organizations advancing social justice causes. We train politically self-motivated individuals in the arts of hypermedia, Information Technology, and radical political practice.

Founded and operated exclusively by radical queer and femme technologists, we offer unparalleled free, by-donation, and low-cost computer classes on topics ranging from fundamental computer literacy to the same offensive computer hacking techniques used by national intelligence agencies and military powers (cyber armies).

Our students are primarily people of marginalized groups and other individuals who are politically engaged.
