Announcing Cyber Night

TOG is holding a Cyber Security evening starting 23rd August 2017 and every 2 weeks thereafter. This is an open night for people to work on projects, or study, cybersecurity / information security topics. You should have some understanding of the topic and must bring your own laptop to take part. The event is a shared study session, not a class.
Some ‘cyber’ resources are available – we have a dedicated pen test box for you to hone your skills against including Bricks, Security Shepherd and more.
We will do our best to point attendees in the right direction, but it will be expected that people will be comfortable with finding out information on their own – either with the books on hand, or search engine.
The event starts at 7pm and ends at 10pm. Note the space will be members only before 7pm.

The Creative Museum Project

The Creative Museum is a three-year project funded by Erasmus+. It ran from 2014 and comes to a close this month. It aimed to explore and inform the connections between our cultural organisations and their communities by capitalising on the emergence of new and democratising digital technologies.

We have had the great pleasure of taking part in their events over the past three years. It was great to find museum community so open and willing to meet the makers on their terms especially the Chester Beatty Library staff.  Events have ranged from talks, workshops and conferences.  It has not been just a one way street, we have had museum staff come to Science Hack Day Dublin and jump right in.  Tog has hosted events for the project such as Projection Mapping and we even had out members visit other project partners for workshops. 

The Creative Museum project has proceeded a number of great tool kits and we are incredibly proud to see some of our events be the inspiration for a number of them. You can view them all on their website. http://creative-museum.net/toolkits/
