by Romy Ilano

https://lu.ma/qk1nn0m7 https://sudoroom.org/events/hardware-hack-night-2024-08-13/ HARDWARE HACK NIGHT! THEME: OCTAVIA BUTLER OCTAVIA BUTLER IS OUR THEME ON THIS HARDWARE HACK NIGHT AS WE MIX AI, PRINT MAGAZINES, AND MORE! *This week’s theme:* Print is hardware too! And what better muse can we imagine than *Octavia Butler,* science fiction Goddess. We’ll have a pre-hardware hack night presentation on creative ways to mix print with electronics, use artificial intelligence in the most open source and ethical way, and work on our SudoRoom print zine! Throw in some 3D models into the mix too! *e are inside the Omni Commons at 48th and Shattuck, see the link at the end of this text to call in in case the doors are locked!* ○ *Projects:* can range from building course materials for teaching local kids electronics to a robotic arm that draws, to light projection art, to people building their own microchip boards! We provide the space, tools and peer learning – you bring your project and enthusiasm! *○ Group Sewing:* Learn to do simple mending or get help with technical fabric and textile projects. In addition to regular machines our Sewing Lab features heavy-duty industrial sewing machines and sergers. Our in house sewing guru CC has worked for Academy or Art College, Tesla, SuitX, and Zipline and has vast sewing machine repair and maintenance experience; bring your own machine to tune up for tip-top operation and sew alongside others. *○ General Repair:* Fix it Clinic’s weekly Oakland residency: bring your broken, non-functioning things – electronic gadgets, appliances, computers, toys, sewing machines, fabric items, etc.– for assessment, disassembly, and possible repair. We’ll provide workspace, specialty tools, and guidance to help you disassemble and troubleshoot your item. First-time repairers and “Fixing Families” are heartily invited.
