ACTA#How_to_Get_Here
On the 29th of March 2014 Techinc opens her doors again for anyone interested. Visitors can see what hacking is, what we are working on and are free to start their own awesome projects.
On this page, we organise the event. You can help making it AWESOME!

Come! It's super cozy!

What do?
Activities

VOLUNTEERS NEEDED who can assist with (de)soldering some abusable electronics
- Laser cutting
VOLUNTEER(S) NEEDED
- 3D printing I
We will print some models for demonstration purposes throughout the day, visitors are likely to come up with crazy ideas but we ought to print small things like rings and initials.
- 3D printing II
We have 4 (four) rather more rare/unique delta-type 3D printers in our space. Two of them are almost finished, we may see them partially working today. Then there is the first printer, that printed all the parts that were needed to build number 2, 3 and 4. And there is the fourth printer, which just got finished and which currently we try to calibrate well so that it prints beautifully. Depending on circumstances, you ought to be able to see two (or more) of them printing all kinds of objects during the day.
- other...?
Talks
We will host talks in the auxiliary room, BEWARE the projector we'll be using has an 800x600 resolution (unless you can bring a better one, contact us!)
Try to talk no more than 10 to 15 minutes, slots are 20 minutes to leave room for questions and to let the next speaker prepare. Please keep the technical stuff fairly lightweight and digestible as we're expecting a mixed audience.
