Club Mate Back In Stock
We have just received an order of our favorite German drink. Club Mate is a caffeinated, carbonated, mate-extract, beverage. You get used to it. We have both original and cola varities in stock. Drop by the space and try out this classic hacker drink.
Bridge Building Results
We had out 4th annual bridge building sessions for engineers week last weekend. With 80 tickets sold we had a fun packed day. The winner bridge held an impressive 28KG before breaking. They are pictured below.
We had a great talk from Cahill Fergal, which lead to some many different bridge designs. Check out our gallery for all the snaps from the day. -> Gallery.
As with every year the best part of the day is the destruction. The scouts really got behind the sprint of the day.
Finally we would like to thank Engineers Ireland for the financial support to make this event possible and the volunteers from the Young Engineers Society

We have graciously received a donation from Intel Ireland of a number of Galileo boards. The Galileo is a microcontroller board with an Intel Quark at its heart. The board is hardware and software pin-compatible with the Arduino Uno. If you would like try try one out, drop by our electronic’s night every second Monday.

Maker Faire UK 2016
We are delighted to have been accepted to showcase our projects at Maker Faire UK. Being the largest Maker Faire in the UK, its a huge gathering of all sorts of makers. We always have a great time talking to the public and seeing our fellow hackerspaces.
This will be our 4th year showing casing at the event. Last year we were trilled to find other Irish makers also there (Mint Tek). We hope this year will be no different.
This year we will be showing a range of wearables and a arduino powered panel clock. We are super proud that our project from last year is now featured on the Maker Faire UK home page. Can you tell which one it is ?
