Museums and Makers Inspiring Each Other

On Tuesday 6th March 6 – 8pm, we are teaming with the Chester Beatty Library, to put on a night that gives makers and museums people a chance to learn from each other. The night in the library, will be filled with a mix of makers from the local community and people from the arts, sciences and cultural sectors. We will be looking at how museums can provide inspiration for creativity and finding ways local maker communities can be embed in the museum’s public programmes. 

For Booking visit -> here. 

This event is facilitated by Don Undeen of BoomHiFive, Georgetown University Maker Hub, and Jenny Siung, Head of Education, Chester Beatty Library, and our own Jeffrey Roe. This event is part of the Making Museum project, an 18-month EU-funded training initiative (Erasmus+ 20172019) exploring how museum staff can up-skill in creativity, innovation, creative collaborations with local maker communities, and embed these ideas in their public programmes for audiences.

November Mini Hackathon

Come and join us for a Mini Hackathon on Saturday 18th November in Blackpitts. The space will be open from 10:00 until very late. This event is free to attend for both members and visitors alike. You can come any time during the day, from 10:00 onwards. Have a quick look around or stay the whole day. Whatever works for you.

What is a Mini Hackathon? Well it’s like all of our regular open evenings rolled into one and then some more. It’s an excuse to drop in and make/break/create/tinker/hack anything. Brewing, Electronics, Baking, Crafting, Wikipedia editing, Coding…. all these and more. Whatever you can think of! Theres already talk of people doing strange things with air compressors and sand. Want to know more…. well you’ll have to come in and find out.

TOG members have a great sense of priority and because you can’t hack on an empty stomach, we’ll be starting with breakfast. The kettle will be on at 10:00 and we’ll provide all of the basics in our kitchen for breakfast. If you want something fancy for breakfast… bring it in!

Suitably fed and watered, the fun will begin. If you don’t fancy getting your hands dirty…. well drop in anyway. Have a cuppa and see whats going on. Get some ideas and have a look around the space.

Saturday 18th also happens to be our regular Open Social day, so the space will actually stay open sometime into the small hours of Sunday morning 19th. We have parking available. Hope to see you there.

*** Please Note: You must be 18 Years or older to take part in this event ***

Wikipedia Editing Event: European Maker Week

TOG is holding a workshop on how to edit Wikipedia on 25 October 2017, from 7 to 9pm as part of European Maker Week.

Ever wondered how to get started editing Wikipedia? Come along and will get you adding to the world’s largest open collaborative knowledge project. All are welcome, no editing experience is necessary and the event is free, just turn up with a laptop to start editing.

Any level of Wikimedia/Wikipedia editing experience is welcome. This is not a formal workshop, but an informal evening with an experienced Wikimedia editor on hand to help!

If Wikipedia isn’t to your taste, you can learn how to edit the huge linked database Wikidata, or add images to Wikimedia Commons.

The event starts at 7pm and ends at 9pm. Note the space will be members only before 7pm.
