Throughout the evening, you’ll have the opportunity to engage in impromptu jam sessions, where the collective energy of multiple synthesizers intertwines to create awe-inspiring sounds. Experience the joy of collaborating with fellow musicians, experiment with different genres and styles, and let the unique characteristics of each instrument shape your sonic explorations.

Additionally, for those who wish to showcase their skills and perform, there will be dedicated performance slots.

Soldering is one of the most important skills you’ll need for working with electronics. Come join us for an introductory through-hole soldering workshop. Soldering enables you to create sturdy connections between electrical components. In this hands-on workshop, you’ll learn how to use a soldering iron safely and effectively, and get plenty of practice with both soldering and de-soldering techniques. We’ll be soldering up some Game of Life kits – LED tiles that generate nifty animations. No previous experience is required, making this introductory workshop a great choice for anyone who’s curious about getting started with hardware tinkering! All materials will be provided.

OK, awesome, I want to join!

Please be ready to start at 1pm! We find that you will need this time to get through the whole class. Our classes tend to sell out about a week in advance so if you’re interested, you may want to sign up early.

This class will be taught by Resistor member Jack Poon.

For people interested in making a documentary, they often run into all sorts of walls — getting permission, working with locations, focusing the story. Most of all, just getting started, even when, from a materials standpoint, all you need is your smartphone camera.

This class will introduce the founding steps to starting a documentary film project, from composing their idea to conversing with potential interviewees. My goal is to help provide clear beginning steps and to alleviate any nervousness around each one. We’ll also cover morals and ethics when it comes to documentary as it’s personally important for me to discuss.

The class won’t get into technical skills like camera work or editing. To even get people to a ready stage to pick up a camera is more than enough to cover. Also, documentaries are beautiful in that you don’t need to invest into much equipment and people’s first docs, I feel it’s best not to bring any need to purchase or rent anything.

Who is this for?
People interested in making their own documentary, whether for themselves or to share a story they’re passionate about. No materials or prior experience needed.

Your instructor:

Jared Leong – I’m a documentary filmmaker based out of NYC. Filmed all around the country and internationally as well, focused as a producer/director.
