Precious Plastic

Happy New Year! This time, we will have a 20 min presentation by Friedrich Kegel from the global non-profit initiative "Precious Plastic". It offers open-source plans for machines to reuse and recycle plastic locally. Find out more at https://preciousplastic.com.

And as always, of course bring your own project along for show&tell afterwards—especially if it has anything to do with recycling!

--------

We meet every 3rd Wednesday of the month from 18:30 until late. Presentations start at 19:00. Special topics and any special guests for each month are posted here as the date approaches.

We are DIY makers, product designers, electronics hackers, artists, 3D printer builders, geek dads and their daughters - anybody from 9 to 99 doing "strange things with electricity"!

Our meetups are very informal; just sign up for the evening here and bring a project you've been working on if you like. We usually have most folks coming from Germany, but also people from the Netherlands and Belgium, thanks to Aachen's unique location, plus frequently other nationalities. If you speak German or English you'll be fine!

We get together, bring out our projects, have some soft drinks and pizza, and start tinkering or chatting with each other. We offer free access to our Fab Lab Aachen (http://fablab-aachen.de) and its 3D printers, lasercutters, PCB mills, and electronics workshop (you just pay for materials). We do quick 20-min talk or interview slots if someone would like to share something with everybody (or ask for help!).
