FAB LAB San Diego

Monthly Social Meeting for Makers, Tinkerers and Creatives
Come join us for the first of a series of monthly gathering at a newly opened venue. This is a free event for anyone interested in being surrounded by Makers, Tinkerers, Creatives and More.
We will introduce ourselves to break the ice then invite people to share or discuss interesting project. It can be anything from crochet to circuit boards. Share your highlights and lessons, and get the chance to ask for advice. We want to hear all the technical details and share a laugh over the silly mistakes. Come chat about fun projects your planning for the winter holidays. Attendees are welcome to simply socialize and participate in stimulating conversations with other Makers.
This is a trial series of meetings for our little community. Attendance is important to let us know whether you like the venue and you're interested in these kinds of events in the future.
This meeting is kindly hosted by our friends from ​Zero Waste San Diego, a nonprofit with 18 years of sustainability leadership with a new facility: the Reuse & Repair Collective in downtown San Diego. Currently focused on events, this community hub will also soon be providing tool and repair expertise.

On the 2nd Monday of the month we have our monthly Autonomous Vehicles Builders and Beginners event at a local brewery. It is presented by the San Diego Robotics group.

It's DIY and open source for autonomous cars of any size, from tiny 1:28th scale to full-size. Primarily we build cars which us AI/NN based on the Donkey framework( http://docs.donkeycar.com ).

If you want to start a DonkeyCar Project, please bring your kits, and we will have experts who can help you out. If you want to just come out and hang out with the club members, pick up a BOM listing, etc you are more than welcome to join us as well.

Bring your bots, your parts, your curiosity and for fun wear a robot shirt if you can, so that we can identify you easily.

One of our Co-hosts teaches a course at UCSD using our project and will give a great understanding of what's required should you want to join in and build a vehicle: https://guitar.ucsd.edu/maeece148/index.php/Introduction_to_Autonomous_Vehicles
