Noisebridge Hackerspace

Welcome to our weekly Swift programming class, your gateway to mastering the Swift programming language! Every Friday at 7 PM, we gather in the upstairs Hackitorium at Noisebridge to delve into the world of Swift, Apple’s powerful and intuitive programming language used to develop applications for iOS, macOS, watchOS, and tvOS. Whether you’re a complete beginner or looking to sharpen your skills, our class is designed to cater to all levels. Our sessions are structured to provide a comprehensive understanding of Swift, from basic syntax and principles to advanced concepts like concurrency and memory management. Join us in the Hackitorium to not only learn Swift but also to become part of a community that values knowledge sharing, innovation, and the open-source spirit. Bring your laptop, your enthusiasm, and your curiosity, and let’s embark on this coding journey together every Friday at 7 PM. See you there!

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.

We have a great resource in our space in the form of a Brother Embroidery machine. Come learn some of the cool things you can do with it!

Our teacher this time is Nick, a local artist, see the picture for some of his work in embroidery! Come learn how to digitally generate and machine apply your unique creations. Thank you to Nick for sharing these skills with us in time for the holidays!
