Katie Gradowski
Public Lab Holiday Party!
Schedule for the day!
1) Saturday Open Shop -- 12-2 pm: Open shop is a free public event we run every week @ Parts and Crafts. This week it's going to be a crash course "intro to the toolst"." Do you want to build a coqui with me? --- Not sure what a coqui is or why you might want to use it? Come by and find out! DIY spectrometers, thermal cameras, balloon/kite mapping stuff and more -- with staff on hand to explain how things work.
2) Show and tell - 2-3 pm: Lightning Talks! Tell us about what you're working on right now! Jeff and R.J. and Dogi are going to give us a run-down on some current projects in air quality monitoring. Got a project you want to share? Tell us what you're working on! Get feedback, share ideas, find out more about cool projects coming down the pipe.
3) Holiday Party! 3-4 pm. Eat, drink, and be merry! Also a great opportunity for mingling and getting to know the Boston Public Lab community. Interested in finding "that person" to talk to to get your air quality question answered? Have a cool project to share? Want to hang out and build on stuff? This is your window. Seed pizza provided by Parts and Crafts, bring a dish to share! 3-4 pm or however long people want to hang out.
All the facts!
- Parking is available in the large lot across the street or directly in front of our building. Please do not park in the large driveway to the right of our building -- it belongs to our down-the-street neighbors.
- Stuff we have includes: Projector, soldering station, a bunch of materials, and lots of stuff for open hacking. The PLOTS 3D printer is unfortunately down for repairs at the moment. We also have a dog! He's very friendly, but pet-allergic folks should be aware.
- P&C is a workshop space for kids If you have young ones and want to bring them, please do! Open shop is typically filled with kids making and building and doing stuff -- it's open build and there will be lots of kids in the space from 12-2. Second half will be grown-up friendly but kids are enthusiastically welcome to join.
- How to get here! We are located at 577 Somerville Ave, directly across the street from Parts and Crafts in Somerville. If you are coming from out of town and need a place to crash, email ka...@partsandcrafts.org and we will get you set up! (probably on my couch, which is right up the hill)
