During this 1/2 hour you can count on the following:
- We will be frantically scrambling to set up for the classes that should have been setup hours before.
- We will try to take the time to go around to room and introduce everyone.
- If anyone would like a tour of the hackerspace, this is the time to ask.
- If anyone has a project to show off, this will be the time to show it off. We will try to go around the room and give each person a couple minutes to show off any current projects they wish to bring down.
- If everything goes well, the first class will start at 6:30. :)
Please contact us (see the Contact Us page) with any questions / comments / suggestions.
