Learn all things Data Science and Compete on Kaggle
We will be meeting at Starbucks to learn together. Come with an online class you're already going through or an interest and we will try to connect you with a course where you can learn it. Already have a skill you want to contribute to a Kaggle Datascience competition? We will work on these too! Laptop required :)
Building a Scanning Tunneling Microscope - PCB Circuit Redesign with CAD
***In Person Location:*** Rockville Library, second floor meeting room (Collaboration Room 3).
Will recreate our Preamp circuit board inside EasyEDA to make it shareable for others. This ideally will also allow us to finish up design enough to submit for a materials grant program.
We are experimenting with a new virtual join link - [https://meet.jit.si/mocomakers](https://meet.jit.si/mocomakers)
If you can make it in person, that's always recommended!
Let's resume repeated full end-to-end testing cycles and continue to iterate our design and resolution. We are getting close.
Our community is building (and documenting for other teams) how to build a scanning tunneling microscope using a mix of common and 3D printed parts. This will allow us to scan and visualize a single atom - an ambitious we are doing over the course of a few months.
The MoCo Makers community is one of the most innovative and competent groups in Maryland, and we've done everything from [publishing cancer research](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38136356/), to [launching products](https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/gotim/cozy-curvy-multi-contour-pillow), [winning grants](https://covidinfocommons.datascience.columbia.edu/awards/2014255), and inspiring thousands.
Now our biggest challenge yet has appeared. We are building a Scanning Tunneling Microscope, that will allow us to scan and visualize single atoms.
Does it sound hard? Perhaps.. However! I have every confidence that we are now operating at a level were we can take on this mean, cross-functional project. We continue to build on our past successes, and a key technology we previously applied was increasing the signal of small voltages using OpAmps - which we did during our custom pH Probe project - [https://www.mocomakers.com/ph-probe/](https://www.mocomakers.com/ph-probe/) \- That technology is exactly what we need to get this machine working\, and at a high precision\!
To get a better idea of what we are doing, see our reference project here: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7N3OqTEq08g](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7N3OqTEq08g)
All starting CAD, code, and reference files should exist. However, let's be the first Maker community to document the build process and share it with learners around the world.
We have a bit over $2,000 in materials costs, so if you want to sponsor this project, and get banners at events with 20K attendees, and access to our email broadcast of 30K members, please contact matt@mocomakers.com
We are also open to university, lab, or community partnerships so feel to reach out if you want to be part of this project.
Together, we can do incredible things.

👉AI Vision Board — Turn Vision Into Reality Faster - Lunch Included (Ashburn)
**💻 Reimagine Your Second Half of Life – AI Vision Board Immersive Experience (Ashburn)**
✨ **Early Access Rate: $35 (5-Hour Immersive Experience — Lunch, Coffee & Snacks Included)**
🗓 Saturday\, April 25 \| 10:00 AM – 3:00 PM
👥 Limited to 10 participants
**“This was such an awesome event! … Once you see that you can’t unsee it. It’s in the making and you will start to discover ways to make that dream materialize.” – Tracy J.** (Comment from January 2026 AI Vision Board session)
***
**☀️ Not Just a Vision Board — A Mirror**
Midlife isn’t a crisis. It’s your comeback story.
This immersive is built around the **R.I.C.H. Quadrant™**:
• Relationships — who you let in
• Ideal Life — what you actually want
• Career/Finance — how you show up
• Health — the energy that fuels it all
If you’d like a deeper look at the framework, you can preview it here:
🔗 [https://midlifereinvention.co/blog/f/the-rich-quadrant%E2%84%A2-living-with-clarity-in-every-part-of-life](https://midlifereinvention.co/blog/f/the-rich-quadrant%E2%84%A2-living-with-clarity-in-every-part-of-life)
**In under 5 minutes, you’ll uncover your values.**
And when your vision board is aligned with that truth?
It stops being decorative — and starts becoming directional.
People often have multiple “aha” moments during this session.
Not because it’s dramatic — but because something quietly clicks.
***
**🕐 What the Day Feels Like**
This isn’t a lecture. It’s structured, but human. It’s focused, but energizing.
**Morning —** Identify your core values + 2 priority quadrants.
**Midday —** Lunch + intentional networking.
**Afternoon —** Complete the remaining 2 quadrants + short coffee reset.
***
**💻 Laptop Required — Please Ensure ChatGPT Is Logged In Before Arrival 💻**
This workshop moves quickly and works best on a laptop.
• **Laptop required** (phones will not work well for this experience. **iPads** may be used, but the experience is significantly smoother on a laptop.)
• **ChatGPT account created and fully logged in before arrival** (please bring your login credentials with you; free version is fine)
To protect everyone’s experience and keep the session on schedule, ***we cannot pause for account setup***. Please arrive fully prepared.
If you need help setting up ChatGPT in advance, message me after RSVP.
***
**🧠 What You’ll Walk Away With**
• Clarity on which area of life needs alignment
• A personalized AI-powered vision board
• Defined 3, 6, and 12-month direction
• Better prompts to use AI intentionally
• Real conversations with people who are building, not drifting
***
**🥗 What’s Included**
• Full 5-hour guided immersive
• Pizza + salad lunch
• Coffee + curated snacks
• All prompts and digital templates
• Small-group collaboration
***
**👥 Who This Is For**
• Divorced/Separated professionals rebuilding intentionally
• Entrepreneurs mapping their next chapter
• Adults in a season of reset
• People who prefer clarity over vague motivation
This is thoughtful work — done in community.
