=== Electronics Jam! ===

Bring your laptop, sit down at a workstation, or pick up a soldering iron and help us build something interesting.

The final creation(s) must: 

# move
# interact with the world
# make noise
# make people smile
# be awesome

* Cost:
** $0, harvest the wealth of ewaste our generation is creating. A stack of electronic toys, including a few with motors, would be nice.
* Space required:
** Interstices. Find a socket and pull up a chair.
* Other requirements: 
** Internet would be interesting, but we can provide a thumbdrive with Processing, Pd, and Arduino and docs can be printed.
** Something to play sounds, a light PA or small amp.
** Something to play visuals, perhaps a projector, large screen, or several monitors.
* Preparation (at least three weeks in advance):
** Roughly outline what we'd like to accomplish in the two to three days and try running through a few projects first. Practice makes perfecter.

So this could be a circuit bending hackfest or a Processing freakout. Maybe some fluxus and Pure Data live coding just for kicks. Bring a laptop, or not. Everything built, made, written, or assembled during the weekend lives at the Node.
