This month we will be featuring Dorkbot Bristol/Hackspace adventures into creating an open source miller at an affordable price. So far we have promising results making PCB’s, plastic engraving, even cutting metal (may be wood, paper or other materials too). we are looking for beta testers for those are interested to make stuff.

On a different visual scale Amias Channer will be bringing along his Glowfitti lighting installation to entertain.

Bring along any project you would like to ’show and tell’ about or just come along for the entertainment.

June’s Dorkbot celebrates a musical theme. Bring along anything you’d like to show and tell or come along for the entertainment.

As part of BV Studio’s open weekend, October 14th - 16th Bristrol Hackspace has been given the kitchen space to set up exhibits. This seems like a great opportunity to make a musical installation, from what might be found or appropriated in a kitchen. We’d like to use this month’s Dorkbot as a source of inspiration.

After a period of gestation, we will at long last also introduce a new spot for ‘Tech Heroes’. This month there will be a talk about Harrison and the story of longitude. A fascinating and instructive tale of vision, persistence and lateral thinking.

Dorkbot is held at the Pervasive Media Studio, Tuesday 21st June from 7.00pm. 

If you’d like to get involved or take a look, new faces are always welcome.

Hope you can make the unskillswap. Arrive at 7.30pm to start at 8.00pmSee below for details.

Bristol Civic Society are organising an event on National Civic Day, 25th June, which is about celebrating the city where you live. They say:

Our theme in Bristol is to celebrate our public spaces. We plan, amongst other things, a big “Teddy Bears Picnic” event in the “Bear Pit” at St James Barton Roundabout and wherever you are in Bristol to make the day a mass participation event using digital media (mobile phones, Facebook, Twitter etc) to enable the general public to send messages, photos, videos and pinpoint their location from other public spaces in Bristol but we need your help. Our hope is to display an online interactive map showing activity across the city, on a screen in the Bear Pit, and if possible the big screen in Millennium Square. We hope to come up with something that will catch the imagination of everyone in Bristol.

They’ll need some technical help and advice - so on the evening of Tuesday 17th May we will be holding a combined Unskillswap/Dorkbot meeting in the Pervasive Media Studio.

There will be opportunity to discuss what Dorkbot/Bristol Hackspace might build and or show off for the event and also the possibility to help Bristol Civic Society set up some cross city connectivity for the event.
