There are a few spots left in our Introduction to Programming. Taught by our very own Kellbot!
Learn basic programming concepts in this introductory class. This class is aimed at people who have never programmed before, and we’ll start by learning our way around Python. We’ll cover data types, control flow statements, and a few common libraries used to write programs.

We’re havin’ a heat wave. A tropical heat wave. No worries, Resistor has awesome AC! (by awesome, I mean BIG AC)
Come learn from our resident expert designer, Astrida, how to rapid prototype your idea with our 35Watt Epilog laser. The class will take you from idea to finished cut parts. You’ll learn what you can cut, how much it costs, and get an idea of the overall cost of your project. Afterwards, you’ll be authorized to use the laser on Craft Night and Laser Night for generating your awesome ideas.

We have chilly AC to keep you and your laptop cool in the forecasted heatwave. You’ll learn basic HTML and CSS mark-up using Aptana to edit and preview your work. No need to fork over $400 to Adobe. You can be coding your internet IPO Saturday afternoon.
We just got a fresh shipment of Club Mate, so you can code ’til you can’t keep your eyes open.

You can create a magical box that could hack any heating appliance and tell it how to raise the temperature (up to .1 degrees accuracy).
All of the top restaurants in the world use sous vide to make make sure their proteins are perfect. It is a brilliant cooking strategy for so much more than that and it has been hailed as the next microwave.
Come and make your own sous vide machines with Arduino based technology. Experienced food hackers, Q and Abe, from LowerEastKitchen.com, QandAbe.com, and MeatJacuzzi.com, will be your teachers. In our class we will guide beginners from soldering to hacking their own appliance. Snacks will be served and eggs will be provided as your first sous vide meal.
Stay for an hour or the full class— it’s just $20! Additional costs are the kits if you should decide to make one and an appliance of your choice, we highly recommend The Professional Series 30 cup coffee urn (you can buy it from Kmart). Kits are available for $80.
Q and Abe are experts in the field of DIY Sous Vide and Open Source Technology. Their invention and foods have been featured on FoodGawker, CNN, and TasteSpotting.

We’ve been honored to have John and Douglas of BrewShop teach beer making at our space. They’re growing in great ways, and can use our help.
City BrewShop is building an all-grain 30 gallon brewing system at their new beer making headquarters in New York City. 30 gallons — that’s a fish tank full of hopped goodness.
They’re less than $1,000 away from their goal of $4,000. Give $25 to help them get set up and receive a commemorative glass from which you can proudly drink your brew. There are other giving levels, too. Some include classes and VIP access to the space and events.
These two guys are amazing dedicated beer craftsmen. Let’s help them out.
