The Hack-A-Thon Returns
Ruben Duque
The Hackmiami Hackathons are back on schedule, and we kick off this
fall with a "Taking Things Apart Event".
This Saturday we will get together for an afternoon of educative
destruction where we will be disassembling old or busted electronics
and salvaging parts for new projects (and as a side effect, learning a
bit more about how these things are put together).
You don't need to bring anything, we will provide soldering irons,
desoldering copper braids, and plenty of stuff to take apart. That
said, if you have old busted electronics that you would like to get
rid of, feel free to bring them with you. In the past we have taken
apart CD drives, routers, VCRs, printers, scanners, and even a belt
sander.
We will also be having a presentation on Windows 7 Security by Jorge
Orchilles at the beginning of the afternoon.
As always, you can just work on your projects, read, study, or just hang out.
The details:
WHERE: FIU (University Park Campus), ECS 280
WHEN: Saturday, September 5
TIME: 1 - 6 PM
See you there.
