SCN Hack Night (Tiny Home Village Sensor Prototyping Edition)

PLEASE NOTE: Location is at the Filipino Community Center Integrated Learning Center (Makerspace).

The Event:
This is our monthly event to get Seattle Community Network (SCN) community members and volunteers together and “hack” on radio and network-related mini-projects.
This month's special edition will be focusing on IoT and home sensing applications for Tiny Home Villages, for a UW research project we've been partnering with.

Some proposed mini-projects:
-Water flow sensor, for when their pipes freeze
-Power usage monitor
-Home Assistant webpage design improvements

Program:
6:30 pm- arrive and eat pizza, brief informal intros and kickoff, subgroup/mini-project explanations/pitches
7:00 pm- initial idea pitches
7:30 pm- team formation
8 pm- good chaos
10:30 pm- wrap up and clean up
11:00 pm- exit

General (Regular Monthly) Description, for your information:
Learn how our SCN 4G LTE cell sites are set up and how to attach a user device to the network; flash a router's firmware; practice crimping Ethernet cables; investigate networking protocols using a variety of wireless sniffers, packet captures, and Wireshark; play with wireless point-to-point radios; help us unlock a carrier-locked LTE device; dig deep into 4G or 5G cellular protocols; help out SCN with configuration tools for making installs easier, or with adding critical features to our network monitoring infrastructure! This can be a chance to get some hands-on experience playing around with networking equipment, and/or chat and make progress on your personal or SCN's projects with other cool folks :)
