We need a preliminary head count for participants in the next Make:DC meeting. Please email meetings@makedc.org if you are interested. This will be a two part meeting, with the first meeting on Thursday, 6/5 and the second on Thursday, 6/19. We will be building, programming, and using motor controllers based on Mark’s design, for details check out:

We are estimating that the kit will cost $20-25, but this varies with quantity, so a preliminary head count will help us determine the actual cost. Once the cost is finalized I will take PayPal deposits for the kits later this week.
Big thanks to Mark for designing this board!

HACDC presents: “PRE-GRAND OPENING PARTS PARTY”
HacDC’s first public event!
When: April 27 - 2:00PM
Where: 1525 Newton St Washington, DC 20010
Who: HACDC Co-Founders and YOU!
Cost: FREE, but please bring a tool/furniture/electronic scrap to donate!
What: A PARTS PARTY?!
Why: We started HacDC to give DC a place to make, build, disassemble, code, learn and do all the awesome things you can do in a “hacker space”. Like nycresistor.com in New York and thehacktory.org in Philly, DC now has its own collaboration and creative space, HacDC! However, we can’t do it without your support. We rely on you!
How: Get to our parrty and bring something to help build our space. Anything from:
* Tools! (Power tools, electronic test equipment, soldering irons, etc.)
* Furniture (especially folding chairs and shelving!)
* Electronics (working and non-working things we can disassemble!)
* Food and Beverages (to keep us going while we work on projects!)
We’re also looking for charter members, people who are dedicated to building a stronger DIY/Hacker community in DC. We are a non-profit DC organization seeking 501(c)(3) status, and all of our work goes directly back into the community through educational, scientific and cultural channels.
Questions? Comments? E-mail info@hacdc.org

The meeting is being pushed back to get caught up with our suppliers. We promise it will be worth the wait. At the next meeting we will get some volunteers for project ideas and administrative help…

Sorry about the delays! This next meeting will include some organizational time, so future meetings will happen much more frequently. Write to meetings@makedc.org to comment.
