Dear everyone! We have a new space, and its partly set up, we should have a party!
This is a smaller party to celebrate the new location, and to warm our way up to our big 10th anniversary party that is coming later, maybe, if someone organizes it and we actually get the space finished.
What
Open House (Noon – 5pm)
Never been to a hack space before? Dying to see the VHS space? This is the perfect time to visit! VHS members will give you a tour around the space, show off some cool projects, and answer any questions you have. Many of our members share an interest in 3D printers, laser cutting, machining, crafting, electronics, robotics, programming, electronic music, and art.
Show and Tell (6pm +)
Have you made something amazing? Are you in the process of building something that will become amazing? Are you just starting out and want to talk to people about your amazing idea? Come down to VHS and tell us about it. Bring your projects!
Small Super Happy Hacker House (8pm – Late)
Small Super Happy Hacker House (SSHHH) is a social night where members, friends and guests gather for a social night of conversation, lightning talks, and super happy hacker games.
Lightning talks – (11PM).
A lightning talk is VHS’ version of an un-conference, where people do short presentation on any subject that they want. Unlike other presentations at conferences, lightning talks last only a few minutes (2 min or less) and friendly heckling is encouraged.
