What we’re about

We are Noisebridge. Noisebridge is a hackerspace for technical and creative projects, do-ocratically run by our members. We are a non-profit educational institution intended for public benefit. Come and visit our space, a 5,000+ square-foot area located in the heart of San Francisco. We teach, we learn, we share.

Noisebridge has MOVED to 272 Capp Street, directly behind the old space, still between 17th and 18th streets in San Francisco's Mission neighborhood! It’s all very exciting, and we need your support to pull it off! Join Noisebridge in building the largest non profit hacker community in San Francisco. Our biggest needs are recurring donations and volunteer hours to work on buildout, setting up the electronics room, wood shop, machine shop, and so on. You can donate at patreon.com/noisebridge, and visit the space at 272 Capp Street during our open hours and events, for a tour or to work on your own projects!

### About me:

Hi my name is Mitchell, I teach front end web development and have a hobby making things! I have built many guitar pedals, and synthesizer modules. Full disclosure, I majored in art in college, and am not an electrical engineer. If I can do this you can do it!

Take a look at my blog: http://www.super-freq.com/

### Where will we be making guitar pedals?

At noisebridge 272 Capp Street, in the electronics room.

### What Tools and materials do you need to make guitar pedals?

Noisebridge has a lot of electronics parts on hand, much of it looks like it would be great for analog projects. That said they don’t have everything. There is probably enough onsite to get started, you may have to order some parts in the future, talk to me I can help you out ordering parts if you have questions.

You’ll use a solderless breadboard for prototyping, solder iron, wire cutters, and a multimeter for debugging. Noisebridge has most of these things on-site.

Please donate to help us run the space if you can, but no one is turned away from lack of funds. We suggest a sliding scale donation of $10-30 going towards the maintenance of and new equipment for the space.

Payable to our cash box, or by Venmo, Paypal, or Credit Card. See Donate to Noisebridge for more information.

Sun, Nov 17, 2024, 11:00 AM PSTSewing 101: Mending by Hand and Machine, an intro
Noisebridge, San Francisco, CA
$20.00
Mending, at its most basic, is problem solving and at its most sublime is hacking. You have a once useful item, how do you make it useful, again? Or how do you change it to give it a new use?

In this intro class you will learn how to:

thread a hand needle, anchor stitches, commence and complete hand sewing

sew on buttons

thread a domestic sewing machine

sew a straight line, an angled turn and a curve on a domestic machine

strategies for mending different types of wear and tear, including holes in knits, torn seams, tattered cuffs, holes in pockets or more, such as invisible mending, visible mending, patching, sewing torn pockets. basic hemming. darning and simple embroidery

Sometimes hacking is the easiest way to make a repair.

Bring up to 2 items to be mended. Wash items twice before bringing them.
No experience necessary. In fact, taking a sewing 101 class at Noisebridge is a pre-req for some of our more technical sewing classes, like the Hack Lingerie series, Class will repeat, feel free to take, again, if you have more to mend, we will cover different repairs each time.

This is also an intro to the Noisebridge sewing room. No sewing experience necessary.

Noisebridge is a nonprofit that runs on donations. Suggested donation for this class is $20.00 but we do have a sliding scale, contact organizer for more information. Bring cash or look for Noisebridge QR code

Sun, Nov 17, 2024, 2:00 PM PSTLaser Cutter Safety Training
Noisebridge, San Francisco, CA
$5.00
Learn how to be safe while using the laser cutter! We have a 150W, CO2 laser cutter with a 3 x 4 ft bed. This training is required to use the laser cutter because we don't want people setting our most expensive equipment donation on fire. You have to do this training even if you were trained at the old space, as we have different safety features now.

Training covers
* Dangers of the laser cutter
* How to be safe
* How to put out a fire

Each participant will cut a piece of cardboard on the laser cutter while following all the safety steps.

This is also a good place to ask questions about specific materials or projects. There is a 5$ fee to register, and we suggest a 20-30$ donation for this class: https://donate.noisebridge.net. If the registration fee is a barrier to your participation, please reach out to the event organisers.
