Tampa Hackerspace

Nothing gets you through the week better than high powered lasers!

This is the class one must take to get approval to operate the Tampa Hackerspace laser cutter/engraver. It covers the basics of preparing raster and vector images for use with the laser, operating the laser safely, and basic procedures. We will also cover what materials the laser is capable of cutting and etching and which materials must be avoided. We'll also demonstrate the air assist and rotary table.
**Plan to arrive 10 minutes early to get settled and signed in. The class will start on time.

Sewers, costumers, quilters, cosplayers, clothing designers, and textile artists & crafters of all kinds, come see what Tampa Hackerspace has to offer and meet others who share your interest in making things out of fabric and fiber! This meetup is free of charge and open to all.

(Yes, this includes you, knitters, crocheters, cross-stitchers, embroiderers, weavers, tie-dyers, and anyone else who works with fabric, thread, yarn, etc.)

Think of this as an "Open Make" event -- bring your project, or just come to learn & see what others are working on. We're working on putting together classes and/or group projects for future meetups.

Tampa Hackerspace is in the midst of expanding, and we now have a dedicated sewing & textiles area! Come on out!

We have a few working sewing machines set up, including a serger, and a large cutting table. If you have a project to work on, you may want to bring a machine if you're able as we may have more stitchers than sewing machines.

Join us to work on your stuff, bounce ideas off of members and socialize. If it is your first time or you haven't been to see us in a while, we'll be giving tours as well.

Occasionally, we'll throw in a small class.

Free and open to everyone.

We'll cover the processes needed to operate the 3D printers at Tampa Hackerspace. We'll cover loading and unloading; bed leveling, when you should do it, and how; loading your print onto the printer and starting the job; filament selection and storage; troubleshooting; and more.

Please note: we will not be covering the software side of 3D printing in this class. Students should have prior familiarity with acquiring 3D files and slicing them for printing. If you're looking for more information on how to prepare files for 3D printing, register for the "3D Printing Orientation: Models and Slicers" session.

This class is for paying members of Tampa Hackerspace ONLY. Information on becoming a paid member can be found on our website (http://tampahackerspace.com/membership).

Girls in grades 6 to 12 are welcome to join us for this school year to learn Python using our CircuitPython Express kits. If you are new, just show up with your student and we'll spend time getting them enrolled in the class.

We will be meeting during the school year on Thursday evenings.

Girls Who Code is a nonprofit organization which aims to support and increase the number of women in computer science by equipping young women with the necessary computing skills to pursue 21st century opportunities. The organization works toward closing the gender employment difference in technology, and to change the image of what a programmer looks like.

Learn how to take a piece of wood or epoxy (a blank), and go through the steps to turn it on the lathe to end with a finished pen. At the end of the class, you'll have a beautiful, custom pen you made yourself and you'll be signed off on the mini-lathe.

The instructor, Bruce Sharp is an experienced woodworker with many years of experience.

The class includes a break and will likely finish in less than four hours. You'll be hands on turning your pen and finishing it. All materials for one pen are included in the class registration.
