Please RSVP so that we know how many snacks & drinks to bring.

Civic Heroes of all types welcome! This event is for coders and non-coders alike -- as long as you're interested in making government more transparent and building interesting things for our city, you're more than welcome!

Bring a laptop: If you intend on getting some hands-on hacking done (it's ok if you can't but it definitely helps to have one).

If you have something you'd like to work on or are excited about, please let us know via the meetup or at the hack night itself. We are growing our initiative and the energy comes from the community.

Sunday, August 19, 2018 at 12:00:00 PM The NEW HammerSpace Community Workshop 5200 E. 45th St., Kansas City, MO

ONE RSVP FOR THIS CLASS INCLUDES PARENT AND CHILD
This a class designed for a parent and child to explore woodworking together and build -2- really neat table top catapults suitable for assaulting a lego fort or sand castle, or hurling delicious marshmallows at each other.

We will use the CNC router to cut the basic shapes, and the saws, sanders, and drill presses to finish the parts. Use dowel rods and screws to assemble the parts and adjust your rubber bands to prepare for battle.

I have one of these catapults that is well over 30 years old and still operates despite being left in the sandbox many, many times.

What we're about

Tuesday, August 21, 2018 at 7:00:00 PM Tannin Wine Bar & Kitchen 1526 Walnut Street, Kansas City, MO

Open to anyone in the area who is interested in developing video games. In order to have a little structure, we'll try to do a couple things each week:

Introduce new members. What have you worked on, game related or not? What do you want to work on next?

Discuss this week's conversation starter. Some article, video or game that we can dig into a little.

Members can present any games they're working on, for feedback or just to brag.

Of course, it's all very informal. The main goal is interesting conversation(s) about our passion.

Looking forward to it!
