Electric Junk Guitar class

🇺🇸 · NYC Resistor

Sign up here: http://www.eventbrite.com/event/1165354607

Learn to make a primitive one- or two-string guitar, wind your own
pickups, and rock out! In this class, you'll turn a piece of scrap
wood into a simple electric guitar. All materials are supplied except
the wood - please bring a sturdy 2-3 foot length of scrap wood such as
a pine 1x2 (or heavier), a broomstick, or even a nice strong straight
branch from a fallen tree. You'll learn the basic acoustics and
electromagnetics behind electric guitars. The class involves light
use of hand and power tools, and soldering - no soldering experience
necessary.

$75 + $5 materials

This class is taught by NYC Resistor member Ranjit Bhatnagar as part
of his Noisy Noises project, in which he spends every February making
a new primitive musical instrument each day.

All NYC Resistor classes are for people 18-years and up. Sorry, minors.

Laser Whistles class

🇺🇸 · NYC Resistor

Sign up here: http://www.eventbrite.com/event/1235650865

Learn to design simple whistles, ocarinas, and/or recorders in
Inkscape or Adobe Illustrator, cut them out of wood on the Epilog 35
Watt Laser, and assemble them into working wind instruments! This
class combines an introduction to laser fabrication - including
safety, design principles, and material choices - with an introduction
to the acoustics of fipple-based wind instruments. Besides leaving
you with an instrument you designed and built yourself, this class
also qualifies you to operate the laser cutter for your own projects
at NYC Resistor's Laser Mondays or Thursday Craft Nights.

Please bring a laptop and a USB jump drive. If you don't already have
Adobe Illustrator or Inkscape software, please download the free, open
source Inkscape <http://inkscape.org> or the 30-day demo of
Illustrator <http://www.adobe.com/products/illustrator/> and
familiarize yourself with it before the class.

instruments...
# Small musical instruments of any kind - kalimbas (thumb pianos),
# drums, wind-up music boxes, xylophones...
# Anything that makes a cool sound that you want to hear more closely



You'll learn to wire up piezo contact microphones and light-sensitive resistors, and to wind your own electromagnetic pickup coils. Light

use of hand tools, and soldering (no previous experience necessary).

Arduino Workshop

🇬🇧 · London Hackspace

http://wiki.hackspace.org.uk/wiki/Workshops/Arduino_for_beginners_3

Introduction to Programming and C (Saturday 19th February)
Introduction to Arduino and basic electronics (Sunday 20th February)

If you are new to programming and Arduinos it is recommended you attend both days.

Media Training Evening Session by a leading industry expert (i.e. how to present yourself well on TV, radio etc).

🇬🇧 · London Hackspace

Hey all, first an apology. Sorry for not going about events in the
correct way but I have not hosted an event at LHS before. I have read
the wiki and will follow the guidelines for next time I organise an
event (like later this week).

There is an external speaker/trainer coming into Hackspace on Monday
night particularly but not exclusively for the benefit of a certain
software collective. If of course any other members would like to join
the group they are welcome but it would be polite to the trainer to
RSVP so we know numbers. We intend to hold this workshop in the
meeting/quiet room:

Monday 21st Feb, 7:30pm for 8:00pm start.
She says she'll try to accommodate latecomers, but they may miss some
key parts.

Given that it is short notice I will of course understand anyones
wishes to continue what they had planned in the quiet room on Monday
night. If of course you could work in the other room (during the
session) if not taking part in the training session that would be
greatly appreciated. Given the short notice I have tentatively added
the event to the Calendar so that nobody misses out.

Kind Regards,

Sam

Handmade Electronic Noise class

🇺🇸 · NYC Resistor

Sign up here: http://www.eventbrite.com/event/1235682961

Make electronic bleeps and bloops, subtle drones, or screaming noise
with a few dollars worth of electronic parts. This class is based on
the book "Handmade Electronic Music" by Nic Collins
<http://www.nicolascollins.com/handmade.htm> (highly recommended, but
not required for the class). You'll learn to create digital tones
with a single chip, make intervals and chords through pure electronic
math, and more.

This class uses light hand tools and optional soldering (no previous
experience necessary). Bring a solderless prototyping breadboard if
you have one; if not, they can be purchased at NYC Resistor for under
$10. All other materials are included.

$75 + $10 materials

This class is taught by NYC Resistor member Ranjit Bhatnagar as part
of his Noisy Noises project, in which he spends every February making
