Me oh my, it sure is nice out. Better get inside and do some learning! Come on down to NYCR for CLASSES!
Intro to JavaScript on May 12: Dominate the web with one of the web’s dominant languages. Javascript!!!
Introduction to Electronics on May 26: Harness the endless power of the ELECTRON! Really, how can you resist this.
Paper Engineering on May 26: Go beyond simple popup designs and learn secret techniques from the professionals. Also, crazy fun.
There’s a common misconception the NYCR is only for electrical experimentation, but nothing could be further from the truth. For example, take this, the latest in our series of ectoplasmic investigations.

We got a great little email on Sunday asking if our Vendy was available for public dispensing. There happened to be a pile of us here hacking on Sunday afternoon, so Nicole dropped by, fed $15 into Machine Uno and get herself a teensy board. On Thursday, Shanshan came round to Craft Night and we got to see what they made:
They didn’t get any action shots of the teensy 🙁 . Nice Arduino though.
Come build and program an Arduino with expert guidance. You’ll build your own Freeduino kit and program it. Even if you’ve never soldered anything in your life, you’ll come away with a working micro controller that you built.

Well, work is continuing on my electromechanical computer project. I now have a sort-of-working prototype of my clunky punch-card reader. Hopefully something will be working in time for the interactive show this year =) Enjoy!
Come learn the basics of iPhone and iPad development! This 3-hour class will introduce you to the high-level concepts of the iOS SDK, the Objective-C language, the Xcode IDE including Interface Builder and the iOS build system, MVC using UIKit, Apple’s most common and useful frameworks, networking using web services, and much more!
