What’s on in TOG in October: lock picking, crafting, coding, Science Fiction book club, Wikipedia editing
October
A summary of what’s happening in Tog this October:
Lock Picking: We have a huge variety of padlocks liberated from the Halfpenny Bridge, we’ll show you how to open them. We also have more esoteric locks, handcuffs, practice locks, and the tools and know-how to pick them.
Workshops on Mondays, the 1st, 15th and 29th October, starting at 7pm.
Coding: Come into Tog and work on a project, or help others with theirs. Laptop of your own pretty much essential, and bring your own project. We provide the space and the wifi, and some expertise.
Runs on Mondays, the 1st, 15th and 29th October at 7pm.
Craft Night: Ranges from knitting, sewing (we have machines), crochet, and embroidery to 3D printing and laser cutting. Bring along a project, work on something you know, or learn a new skill.
Runs on Wednesdays, the 3rd, 17th and 31st October at 7pm.
Electronics and Micro Controller Night: Learn how to make Arduinos, Raspberry Pis and Intel Galileos do cool and interesting things, or try our introductions to electronics worksheet. We don’t have spare laptops, so bring your own.
Runs on Mondays, the 8th and 22nd October at 7pm.
The Science Fiction Book Club meets on the last Wednesday of each month, the next one is the 31st October. This month’s classic is Neuromancer by William Gibson. There is usually cake, and not entirely coincidentally Science Fiction Bookclub is on the same night as…
Wikipedia Editing: On the 31st October at 7pm, you can learn how to add your knowledge to the world’s largest open collaborative knowledge project, by becoming a Wikipedia editor. Everyone welcome and no prior experience is necessary. There is pizza, to go with the cake.
Open Social: This month, the open social is on Saturday 20th October at 7pm. Pizza, beer, conversation, games, starts early evening and, like the best parties, doesn’t end until the last person leaves.
Culture Night Update
We had a great night for Culture Night last night. Loads of visitors. The first of them arrived on the dot at 5PM, and we still had visitors in the space at 11PM. We had lots of members on hand to give tours of the space and demonstrate some of our activities.
Thanks to everyone who came. If you liked what you saw and would like to see more, keep in touch with us. We have regular open evenings and weekends for visitors, and almost everything is free to attend. For example, we have Electronics, Coding, Crafting, Lock Picking and Wikipedia editing evenings, as well as our regular monthly Open Social and Sci-Fi book club.
We have our own website and mailing list with details of all our events. We also have a number of social media channels. Keep in touch with us. Hope to see you again soon.
Check out some photos from the night on our gallery.

TOG at EUCYS Dublin 2018
The EU Contest for Young Scientists comes to Dublin this September, for the second time in its near-three decade history. The first EUCYS event was held in Brussels in 1989, with the aim of encouraging cooperation and the exchange of ideas and knowledge between young researchers, and to inspire and instil confidence in them to follow careers in science. This year’s event takes place in the RDS, Ballsbridge, Dublin, and runs for a full five days from Friday 14th to Tuesday 18th September. It offers participants the opportunity to meet and discuss their work with some of the world’s leading scientists. TOG will be there from 10 to 4 on Saturday 15th and Sunday 16th, and from 10 to 3 on Monday 17th, showcasing our projects and activities.
EUCYS is a part of the the Science with and for Society programme run by the Research directorate of the European Commission. For venue details and a programme of events, visit the EUCYS website.
2nd Pi Jam
The Dublin Raspberry Pi Jam team are hosting their 2nd jam and this time it’s in Tog. We are happy to play host to the growing Dublin Raspberry community. This jam will focus more on bringing your own equipment and working on projects. They want to emphasise that it is not a workshop, it’s an event where you feel free to ask questions and for help as well as share your own project and ideas to one another.
The event takes place on November 3rd, 2018 from 12:30. the event is free but requires tickets. For full information visit https://ti.to/dublin-raspberry-pi-jam/2nd-pi-jam/ .
