Introduction

UPDATE: Our 2010 Open House has come and gone. We had between 150-200 people come by. Fun was had by all. Even if you missed it, you can still check out the photos and video:



Here's a quick walk through that Steve did late in the evening

Steve took the 2 fps video from our security cameras in the two front rooms, accelerated it to escape velocity and combined it with some music by Spectral Hades, allowing your to see our whole 12 hour Open House in less than 8 minutes.

Dallas Makerspace is holding an open house to introduce the public to our space and the projects we've worked on this year. Projects like high voltage machines, experimental art, 3D printing, lasers, crafts, film and digital photography. Everyone (that means you!) should come out and meet us, see our space and our tools, and sit in on a few demonstrations. If you've never visited a hackerspace, now's your chance to find out what goes on and get in on the fun.
