An important part of Site 3′s vision is to share our skills and knowledge with the community. To that end we’re planning on having a diverse selection of courses and workshops open to the public, aimed at a wide variety of age groups. Many of our members are professionals in their respective fields, and so we’ll be able to offer everything from introductory courses for complete novices all the way up to master classes for more experienced students.
Schedules and formal registration will be announced as they become available. In the meantime, some topics we’re planning on covering soon include:
And that’s just our initial list! See below for the currently scheduled classes.
If you’re interested in hearing more about courses as information becomes available, sign up for our announcement e-mail list or subscribe to our RSS feed. If you’d like more information, or to “pre-register” for a specific course, please email me directly at jonathan (at-sign) site3.ca.
Event has multiple dates, check the registration page.
This is a three-hour long beginner course to get started with Arduino or the Wiring environment.
Students will learn how to program using the software environment, and go through a set of examples and demonstrations. A $10 parts kit is included in the cost of the class.
Requirements
Monday 28th of May - 6:00pm to 9:00pm
Taken the basic lathe course? Comfortable with round things? Want to make round things out of steel and titanium?
This is the class for you! Take the advanced lathe class to get qualified on the Acer lathe at Site 3. This is a full and proper machine tool of the sort one uses to make Real Parts for Real Things.
You must have taken the Basic Lathe class in order to qualify to take this class, so we know you're comfortable with a machine that goes "whirr."
