from today on, our Tuesday Sewing Café is taking place from 4 to 6 pm! Sometimes the hours may be extended beyond that so you could be able to visit even if you are working until 5 or 6 - best subscribe to the sewing mailing list to receive such updates first hand :-)

Here are some impressions from our first of two events in association with , Wednesday's Makers Meetup!
Makers were busy with tons of cool projects, e.g. 3D printing board game pieces and programming a flip dot display, and as always had fun connecting with others from all kinds of backgrounds.

Our second event will take place tomorrow: we will construct and program robots with LEGO Mindstorms! We're expecting about 20 participants already, so sign-up is closed unless you are content with just watching (at first)...

Any plans for the weekend yet? In case you are considering going to MakerFaire Vienna, come by tonight or eMail [email protected] for a chance of some free tickets, courtesy of Frank!
