Open Tech Calendar

A monthly meet up for makers and hardware hackers in Glasgow. For anyone with an interest in making or hardware hacking regardless of level, beginner to expert. Meet ups will be a mix of demos, talks and workshops.

6-6:30pm:
Toy Hacking with Node-Red - Martin Goodfellow
This talk will give a brief introduction to hacking the hardware of toys. It will also give an introduction to Node-Red and how it can used on the Raspberry Pi to connect hacked toys to the Internet because why not?

6:30-7pm:
An Introduction to SEG - Jack McGowan
This talk is a brief introduction to the St Andrews Engineering Group (SEG); a student lead society whose aim is to provide members with engineering skills that they wouldn't typically gain with their main studies. The talk will include a discussion on the successes and failures of the society's flagship projects which were the construction of an autonomous vehicle and the launch of a space balloon.

7-7:30pm:
Wekinator with Arduino and Processing - Jen Sykes
This talk/demonstration gives a brief overview of quick interactive prototyping experiments that can be realised using Wekinator; a machine learning tool by Rebecca Fiebrink.

Following demos, talks and workshops we'll head to the Bon Accord for those of us that are over 18.
