Make Cool Stuff (or learn how to!)
TechShop has finally opened up their newest location smack in the middle of downtown SF. If you're not already familiar with the Menlo Park location, TechShop has literally dozens of machines, from CNC mills, laser cutters, sergers, 3D printers and scanners and a whole lot more (full list of machinery). Not sure what to do with all that equipment? Not to fear, TechShop offers dozens of classes to teach you.
Open House: Friday (1/14/11) check out the San Francisco location and meet author Kevin Kelly (Wired, What Technology Wants), 5 - 9pm.
