Have you guys heard about our friends at Who Gives a Scrap? They are a creative reuse center that has diverted over 133 TONS of material from the El Paso and Larimer County landfills in under 4 years. They collect all kinds of arts, crafts, and hobbies supplies in addition to neat vintage finds. Next time you need to go to Michaels, Hobby Lobby, or any art store, try these guys instead. They have so much material at a fraction of the price when buying new. They also have cool classes and…

We’re very excited about our next Hub Talk!

On April 29th at 7pm, we’ll be learning about (and trying) the world’s first open source sensory substitution/augmentation development platform: The Cthulhu Shield. This system takes various types of sensory inputs (sound, pressure, image, heat, etc) and translates them into electrode pulses that are in contact with the surface of the tongue. This sensory substitution allows your tongue to ‘see’ and ‘hear’ the environment around you.

The Arduino 101 class that Dan and Steve held today was awesome. A lot of beginner information presented very well. I am now confident that I can explore and experiment and achieve success.

I highly recommend this class if you are interested or curious about Arduino.

Looking forward to when FCCH offers a Arduino 201 class.

Recibimos el 2019 con DOS TALLERES DOS donde construiremos las dos maquinitas más populares del labo en este momento (estamos cocinando cosas nuevas, pronto novedades) Vamos por partes:

LUDOTECNIA es un circuito lleno de ruidos digitales de todo tipo y suena así:

LUDOTECNIA fue diseñado y desarrollado para acompañar el lanzamiento de LUDOTECNIA, primer disco de J.CROWE . Por lo tanto  es un circuito que suena dos veces, una al conectarlo a un sistema…

The order came this morning so I installed the PEI and loaded the drawer with new filament.  All seems to be working well.

We are excited to announce a new upcoming class on how to design and build your own custom bread board. December 7th and 8th.

Over two sessions, our talented wood shop boss Dave Moore will teach you how to design and create your own unique bread board from a selection of premium wood (maple, cherry, walnut, and purple heart). Top it off with a custom laser engraving to make it into a meaningful gift – or keep it all to yourself!

Only 8 slots available, so don’t wait to sign up! Please…

Once upon a time there was no way to find us coming from the west. Alas this is no more. Ray has cut a new sign from vinyl, stuck it to a piece of steel and hung it out by the road. 

THE SIGN I’S NOT ALL THAT’S NEW!

If you haven’t been in awhile you really need to. Thing are improving all over the space. Thanks to our volunteers who make this space run!

Check out our new forums, lots of great info and conversations there.

I found this mallet on reddit and thought it would be fun. Anybody want to join me?

A few months ago I had the opportunity to participate in something called a “fox hunt” – or a hidden transmitter hunt – with the Binghamton Amateur Radio Association (BARA). This activity brings together a group of people to find a radio transmitter which has been hidden and is broadcasting on a specific frequency; they are tasked with finding the transmitter based on radio signal strength, which is usually accomplished by using a directional antenna, such as a yagi antenna. The term…

Here is some good news for our members (and members-to-be). We are in the process of transitioning to Wild Apricot membership software. Not only will this allow for more communication and self-management of your membership, it will automate many of the processes that our volunteers had to perform manually.

This will take a few days to roll out fully, but here are some of the things you will be able to do as a member of the Creator Hub right here on our website:
