Coder Girl Hack Day

The Dublin Hackerspace
On Saturday 17th September we will be holding our regular Open Social evening. If you’ve never been to our Social, you’ll find it a great alternative Saturday evening in town. Look around….talk to members and visitors about projects or things you’d like to do. Talk about beer brewing to some of our brewer members or about locks to our lock pickers. Have a look at our laser cutter and our motorbike that we’re restoring. Ask about joining as a full member.
Hopefully there’ll be, caint, ceol agus craic as usual. The space stays open until the last member is left……usually the small hours of Sunday morning. The evening is free to attend for members and visitors alike. No booking is required…. just turn up. You can drop in for 10 minutes, or stay the whole night. We have parking available. Bring beer, food, gadgets! Our doors will be open from 7pm. Hope to see you there.

Electric Picnic marks the end of the Irish summer. Some say its too late and summer is already over by the time it happens due to the amount of rain that typically lands on the festival. We were invited by the Science Gallery to run two different workshops over the course of the festival. We ran a locking picking session and a field test of the conductivity of liquids.
Over the two days festival goers were entertain by being handcuffed to each other and left to pick their way out and with the kids being amazed to find out distilled water does not conduct electricity. Check out our gallery for the full photo set.
Tog will be hosting a series of short talks about games. Topics will include:
This will be followed by a night of gaming (we will have Board Games, Mame & Xbox consoles, bring your laptop if you wish). There will be couple free to enter competitions run throughout the night.
Talks will start at 7pm on Friday 30th of September. Please arrive at 6.30pm.
Any speakers who are interested in giving a talk please contact us at info@tog.ie or speak to Izzy or Diarmaid in the space.
Each speaker will have 5 to 15 minutes available, although when necessary longer time slots can be assigned.
We hope to SEE you ALL @ TOG on Friday the 30th of September, 6.30pm arrival for 7pm kick-off!
A bunch of us headed to an event last weekend called Electromagnetic Field in the UK. EMF is a 3 day camping festival held every two years with over a thousand people attending. The weekend is filled with talks, workshops and lots of crazy art installations. We teamed up with other hackers from Ireland to form our own little village to have a place to call home for the weekend. Our members kept themselves busy over the weekend by adding to the lineup with their own talks and workshops check out below.
EMF had a full program of events to keep all the kids entertained. We ran our bridge building competition with the young hackers of EMF. Congratulations to the hope bridge on their win.
In the hack center, Jeffrey ran his popular bone conduction kit soldering workshop.
Check out the rest of the things we got up to in our photo gallery or what we did with the cool EMF badge.
