This Sunday, we are holding a BBQ at the Make, Hack, Void workshop in Downer to celebrate and and hear in detail Canberra UAV's experiences at the UAV Outback Challenge.

We will be starting at midday, but if you want to bring along something special (food, projects, inebriative liquids, etc) that may take a while to prepare, you are welcome to come earlier.

A series of three beginner workshops to let you start interacting with the real world from your computer. Learn how to blink lights, measure the temperature, sound, light and movement and switches and dials. 
 

It's that time of the year where we celebrate the festive season in Make Hack Void style! With meat! And drinks! And stuff! Woo!

Date: Saturday the 17th of December

Maker Meetups have been a bit quiet since the winter weather set in, although we've now bought an industrial heater - it should arrive before the first July meetup. On Tuesday, about a dozen intrepid Makers braved the shortest day of the year - bringing UAV kit, Arduino-powered synths, nerf guns, server testing and lots of nerdy talk.

 We're running a community survey to try and find out more about the people in and around MHV.

If you're reading this, that means you! It'll only take a few minutes to fill in, it's totally anonymous, and we're giving away "free hacking" tokens for people who fill them - come and use some tools, or give the token to someone who will.

We've decided to experiment with a Google Calendar for our MHV Space opening times, including future Maker Meetups. iCal link.

Maker Meetups feature project (and project-in-progress) show & tells. Plus lightning talks, lots of interesting open discussion, and hacking! All are welcome.
