Want to make your own balloons? Our very own Kari Love will be leading an Intro to Inflatables course on September 24th!
Learn about DIY flat-patterned inflatables from an intro lecture to design constraint basics, material choices, fabrication techniques, leak rates vs flow, etc. Then follow-up with hands-on experimentation making your own heat-sealed mylar balloons.
We’re hosting the good folks of CraftJam for a class on Sunday, September 25th. Make your own laptop or tablet case!
In this CraftJam you get to create a custom cover for your tablet or laptop made of felt and leather, our favorite duo of materials. We’ve got all the materials you need, including an assortment of felt and leather, colorful thread options, all the right tools, and a leather stamping station.
Come join us for an Intro to Arduino class on Sunday, Aug 21! Our ever-popular Arduino class is back for another round. Learn how to use the Arduino microcontroller to control LEDs, light sensors, buzzers, and more, including how to wire up your own circuits and how to program it using the Arduino IDE. No previous electronics experience is required!

Come join us for an Intro to Arduino class on August 21st! Want to get started with physical computing?
We’ll learn to program an Arduino and interact with the physical world! This class covers an introduction to Arduino, including how to use light sensors, LEDs, buzzers, and more.
Our Arduino classes tend to sell out, so grab your tickets now!
We still have some tickets left for our DIY Musical Instruments class on Saturday!
Turn almost anything into a musical instrument with Teensy, an inexpensive Arduino-compatible microcontroller. The Teensy 3.2 has a bunch of touch sensors and analog and digital inputs, and it can plug into almost any music software through USB MIDI. 
In this class, we’ll stick touch pads on any objects to make them into keyboards, drum controllers, or trigger pads. No coding or soldering experience is needed, but you’ll have the opportunity to do either or both if you like. Bring an object you’d like to instrumentify! And hurry up and buy your ticket.
Want to learn to solder? Our learn-to-solder class is on July 30th!
We’ll be building some Game of Life kits – LED tiles that blink and form cool patterns. No previous experience necessary. The class will cover everything you need to know in order to solder safely and effectively (including fixing your mistakes!).
Want to learn how to sew? NYC Resistor member Becky Stern is leading a sewing class this Saturday!
Pick up those basic sewing skills you’ve always wanted in this total beginner class! We’ll thread needles, tie knots, sew buttons, and practice basic stitches used for clothing alteration and repair. You’ll walk away with a mix of hand and machine techniques you can use to patch ripped jeans, hem something that’s too-long, make your own curtains, and generally gain agency over your textile world.
We still have a bit of room left in our Kokedama Make-Along for this Sunday!
This is not your typical craft class. Make-Along is a self-guided craft workshop where participants learn new skills, explore new materials and make great things! In this session we’ll be exploring how to make lovely floating plant planets known as kokedamas, or moss balls, or awesome things you totally want to learn how to make.
It’s laser time! We still have tickets left for this Saturday’s laser cutting class. Learn to cut and etch wood, acrylic, chocolate, and more with our laser cutter.
Once you take our laser cutting class, you’re laser-certified! Come in and use our laser on Craft Nights to make cool stuff. Grab a ticket before it sells out!
We still have a few tickets left for our Intro to Arduino class this Sunday. Who’s going to grab them?
Our Arduino intro is a 3-hour whirlwind tour, including hands-on lessons on how to use light sensors, blink LEDs, and make buzzers buzz! No prior hardware or electronics experience is required, though some basic programming experience (familiarity with for loops, variables, and functions) is helpful.
