SUMMARY:Baltimore Hackerspace - Microwave Night
DESCRIPTION:Baltimore Hackerspace is a 501c3 nonprofit community\, where everyone has access to the tools\, skills\, and feedback to reach further. Ranging from woodworking to wireless security protocols\, from wiring a house to welding a BattleBot\, we’re here to help you take that next step. And “Microwave Night” is our annual party. \nAt Microwave Night we embrace our goofy side\, the side that wonders “what if???” We’ve all had those intrusive thoughts in the kitchen\, and on Microwave Night we let them all out. CDs? Tinfoil? What about two peeps holding knitting needles? A car airbag??? \nJoin us for a fun night of questionable choices\, and please bring that weird thing you’ve always wanted to microwave.
