Still in town for World Makerfaire? Come by NYCResistor’s Monday open night tonight and use you making skills to give back to the community!
The LipSync enables a person that has no use of their hands to use a touchscreen device, laptop or computer — it is a mouth operated joystick that allows a person to control an onscreen cursor with minimal head and neck movement. An open-source hardware project funded by Google, it uses 3D printed parts, an Arduino Micro board, and other common parts that can be soldered to a circuit board and built in a day.

A “Lipsync Buildathon” is an event that trains makers to build an open source assistive technology, the LipSync (www.makersmakingchange.com/lipsync). By the end of the session, each maker will make a LipSync for a person in their community. We’re kicking off this build-a-thon at 7PM in conjunction with our usual public open night, so come by and say hello!

Come join us for a class! Tickets are available on Eventbrite.

These classes fill up, reserve your spot now!


Harness the power of an Eplilog 60 Watt Laser! In this class you’ll learn everything you need to know to make the ideas in your head become a reality with a laser.



In this three hour class, we’ll walk through all the steps from idea to pressing the “go” button on the laser. We’ll cover safety, basic file preparation, and learn how to do a burninate test to find out if a material is laserable. After the three hours, you’ll have made a plaque for your door, a keychain, a simple box or something slightly ambitious. (There is lab time for laser cutting, questions and answers, and working with Inkscape, Illustrator, Corel Draw, etc.)



After learning the basics, each student will create a simple design and cut it on the laser! A $10 lab fee is included in the ticket price and covers your time on the laser cutter to cut and etch. We have a variety of scrap material to experiment with or you can purchase laserable acrylic, Delrin, illustration board, leather, or wood. Midwest and Revell make a variety of plywood, bass and balsa that is perfect for laser cutting. The bed size of our laser is 32″ x 20″ so buy materials accordingly. Keep in mind that large-scale, complex, multi-cut projects may not be appropriate for the class. Our goal is to teach you how to use the tool, not how to reinvent the Sistine Chapel in one afternoon.



Please bring a laptop and a USB jump drive. You may choose to upload and install Inkscape or a free trial of Adobe Illustrator before you come to class to get familiar with the software and start on a vector design project.


This class is required for coming in to do work on the laser independently. If you get inspired, you can come back and laser your objects on our Monday or Thursday Craft Nights. (See our website for more info.)


This class will be taught by NYC Resistor member Astrida Valigorsky. As with all NYC Resistor events, this class is 18+ and governed by our Code of Conduct. The Code of Conduct, as well as accessibility information, can be found at www.nycresistor.com/participate/.

Hand Weaving Basics: Make Your Own Loom on Sep 01

 classes  Comments Off on Hand Weaving Basics: Make Your Own Loom on Sep 01
Aug 222018
 

Come join us for a class! Tickets are available on Eventbrite.

Join us September 1st for an afternoon weaving workshop. In this three hour class, we will make our own lap looms, learn basic weaving structures, and start individual tapestry projects. Though participants may not finish a piece in this timeframe, we will go over how to finish a piece and options to hang your work. Participants will walk away with the skillset to create their own weaving pieces on the lap loom beyond what we start in class.


Why learn to weave? Weaving has been around for centuries as a way to make fabric, tapestries, wall hangings, and rugs. The lap loom is a pair down version that is easy to learn and doesn’t require a large amount of space. And weaving makes a great excuse for marathoning bad TV.


Material fees will cover supplies to make your own loom and a variety of yarn to choose from.



This class will be taught by Kayla Thompson.As with all NYC Resistor events, this class is 18+ and governed by ourCodeof Conduct. TheCodeof Conduct, as well as accessibility information, can be found atwww.nycresistor.com/participate/.

Bill Nye the Science Guy stands center frame in a while button up shirt, black suspenders, and classic bow tie. He throws his arms up and head back as the lights flash. The word 'SCIENCE!!!' is along the bottom of the image in gray.

Calling all Resistors and friends: We need you for a special project at the 23 August open Craft Night.

Alex is a PhD student studying astrophysics who wants to help make science accessible to the public via the medium of interpretive dance. He’s making a video for the Dance Your PhD contest and needs an ensemble of dancers to communicate that his data analysis methods will be applied to billions of never-before-observed galaxies. Don’t dance? No problem! If you can do the hokey pokey, you can dance this PhD! (For inspiration, check out Alex’s all-time favorite entry.)

Please join us to film the final scenes in and outside Resistor on Thursday, 23 August between 7:30 and 9:30 PM. And do feel free to share this announcement on social media. We look forward to dancing with you soon!
