Come join us for a Book-Binding Make-Along on April 17th!
From simple folded accordians to fancy-smancy book binding stitches, come to this month’s Make-Along and make yourself a journal or turn a paperback into a hardcover! Grab a ticket and come hang out with us.
Never been to a Make-Along before? Make-Alongs are self-guided craft workshops where participants learn new skills, explore new materials, and make great things.
Want to learn how to make a website? Sign up for our introductory HTML and CSS class on April 30th!
No previous coding experience expected or required. You’ll learn how to make your own website, add content with HTML, and handle basic styling and positioning with CSS. At the end we’ll show you how to host your site with Github Pages for the world to see!
Tickets are up on EventBrite now.
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!

Spring is here and it’s time for another Interactive Show! This year’s theme is #MakeInteractiveGreatAgain. The party is on May 14th and as usual we’ll provide the music and libations.
If you’ve ever wanted an excuse to build a dancing toupée bot, now is the perfect time. Or pull out an old project and do something new with it to make it great again. We’d love to show off whatever you’ve been working on, so drop us a line!
…we’ve got new laser classes omg! Our laser-cutting classes are super popular and sell out quickly, so we added some more.
Learn to make laser pies…or laser-y boxes…really, you should just sign up for the class. After you get laser-certified you can come back during our public nights and use the laser cutter!
This weekend I built a polargraph from random junk around NYCR. It’s amazing how much stuff we have available for projects, if you just take the time to dig through our thingsgiving bins. This one used NEMA17 stepper motors and pulleys, a surplus tinyg board and a dry-erase marker suspended from thread found in the fabric bin.
Originally the servo was going to lift the pen, but I ran out of time to integrate the servo with the tinyg system, so it just drags the pen between elements. The pen’s angle isn’t controlled, so sometimes it “gouges” the whiteboard and skips around. Hackish source code to generate the gcode and more details are at trmm.net/Polargraph.
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!
