It’s laser time! We still have tickets left for this Saturday’s laser cutting class. Learn to cut and etch wood, acrylic, chocolate, and more with our laser cutter.
Once you take our laser cutting class, you’re laser-certified! Come in and use our laser on Craft Nights to make cool stuff. Grab a ticket before it sells out!
We still have a few tickets left for our Intro to Arduino class this Sunday. Who’s going to grab them?
Our Arduino intro is a 3-hour whirlwind tour, including hands-on lessons on how to use light sensors, blink LEDs, and make buzzers buzz! No prior hardware or electronics experience is required, though some basic programming experience (familiarity with for loops, variables, and functions) is helpful.
In this class, we’ll stick touch pads on any objects to make them into keyboards, drum controllers, or trigger pads. No coding or soldering experience is needed, but you’ll have the opportunity to do either or both if you like. Bring an object you’d like to instrumentify! And hurry up and buy your ticket before we sell out.
Been curious about electronics, but don’t know where to start? Want to learn to use programming to interact with real-world stuff? Our always-popular intro to Arduino class is running again on June 12th! You’ll learn how to blink LEDs, make a buzzer buzz, and use a light sensor.
No previous hardware or electronics experience necessary, though some basic programming knowledge is helpful. Get your tickets!
OMG Blinkies!
It surprises literally nobody that we love blinky things at NYC Resistor. Maybe you want some blinky things of your own? NYC Resistor member Matt Metts is teaching his Blinky Umbrella Workshop on June 5th!
In the workshop, you’ll learn the simple soldering technique needed to assemble the electronics, and the craft techniques used to attach everything securely to the umbrella. And yes, you really can use it in the rain. Hurry up and get a ticket!
We just wrapped our last Make-Along on Sunday. Now we can get ready for our June Make-Along: Kokedama!
We’ll be exploring how to make the lovely floating plant planets known as kokedama, or moss balls. Make-Alongs are guided craft workshops where participants learn new skills, explore new materials, and make great things – beginners and experts alike are welcome!
The Kokedama Make-Along is on June 19th. Grab a ticket before they’re gone!
On Sunday we’ll be exploring the wonderful world of terrariums. Join us as we make tiny worlds with soil, succulents, moss, and figurines!
Make-Alongs are self-guided craft workshops where participants learn new skills, explore new materials and make great things. Whether you’re a beginner or a master, there’s something for everyone!
Tickets for this Sunday’s Terrariums Make-Along are available on Eventbrite now.
We’ve got two great classes coming up this weekend: our ever-popular laser-cutting class on Saturday, and PCB Design with EAGLE on Sunday.
Once you take our laser-cutting class, you can swing by on any public night to use our laser! Amaaaazing.
…or take the EAGLE class, and learn how to design your own circuit schematics!
I mean, or you could take both. Check out the class listings on Eventbrite!
Want to learn how to design your own circuit boards? Our EAGLE class is back!
Come take the PCB design class and we’ll teach you how to use the awesome, free EAGLE PCB design program. You’ll learn how to draw schematics, find the right footprint, lay out a circuit board, route the circuit board, and finally prepare the board for production. We’ll even show you where you can go to have your boards made for fairly cheap.
Class is Sunday, April 24, and tickets are available here. See you there!
Want to learn to make iOS and Android apps with JavaScript? NYCR member Bonnie Eisenman will be leading a React Native intro workshop this Saturday. Tickets here!
We’ll walk through how to use the popular React Native framework to write high-quality, cross-platform mobile applications with JavaScript. Topics covered include mobile components, styling, and application structure. Come join us on Saturday!
