I guess the secret is out. The Open Heart Kit --one of the favorite kits of all time around our hackerspace-- is now available from Makezine. And to top it off, it was developed by our very own Jimmie P. Rodgers. There are a bunch of people I know who would like this for Christmas. Better put it on my list. Here's the link.

Our members have created a fantastic Halloween show for the Charles River Museum of Industry, and you are invited! Based on the concept of what would happen if you could pass through a turbine into the Charles River, the show features glowing underwater creatures, modified toys, handbuilt circuits, a game to find and activate ghosts and much, much more. The show will be at the museum from Thursday, October 30th through Sunday, November 2nd. 5:30-9:30pm. All proceeds will benefit the Charles River Museum of Industry. |
