The iconic Arduino is not just hardware, it’s also a software platform you can use to program a wide variety of microcontrollers to do anything from controlling lights to building robots to IoT (Internet of Things) applications in a very accessible, quick-start way. Arduino can be used to prototype a product idea, create art, or as a fun creative hobby. In this workshop we’ll dive right in and get you programming an Arduino to sense the world around it and interact with the world via lights and motors. You’ll be taught helpful tips to avoid traps beginners can fall into, and we’ll guide you to the best resources for next steps. Laptops and hardware provided. If you want to bring your laptop, install the free Arduino software before the workshop: https://www.arduino.cc/en/software. You can bring an Arduino if you have one, but note we’ll be working with the standard Arduino Uno in this workshop.

Introduction to Welding: Level 0
Saturday, October 9th, 2021 – Noon-5 PM
- Format: In-Person
- Cost: $85, or $60 for members
- Maximum Class Size: 12
No experience required. Learn and practice 4 types of welding: Mig, Tig, Stick(Arc), and Oxygen-Acetylene. 30 min safety intro, then 4 stations with 2-3 attendees each for a demo on the welder and time to practice before rotating to the next.

Are you interested in networks, business programs, or management software? For job skills, to try it out, to prepare for your side hustle? Come play with our systems! As a hackerspace Bloominglabs runs on volunteers, but we have curious people who what to help others and learn more. Our whole space is a do-ocracy and playground - and that includes our website, network, and management programs. Some days might have a set goal or topic, but this is a casual learn-together study group.
While the people who come will have a strong say in what we work on or can come with specific things they want to try, and we can be playing with different things, this group has been brought about to try and unify a few Bloominglabs systems so to start off this group here are the first few topics to get us started:
- Design Parameters: Look at what we currently use and brain storming our needs and wants, ranking them, and creating our ideal system map.
- List possible programs/solutions
- Divide the options out and test what parameters each program meets or does not meet
