Open Hack Night – Public Welcome
Open hack nights are a chance for people to come out to Knox Makers and hack on anything at any skill level. You can come out to practice a new programming language, get help working on your personal projects, or try your hand at using the 3d printer. You might just come out to see what other folks are working on and lend a hand. If you know anyone who has been curious to come out to Knox Makers, please invite them along!
Like all other Tuesday nights, this event is free and open to the public. Our night will begin with a Show and Share where attendees are encouraged to bring out the projects they have been working on. This is a great time to request feedback for the future direction of your project, or you can just bring out something you want to show off. We hope to see you there!

Nostalgia Trip is an adult crafting social series, featuring some of the best arts and crafts activities from your childhood in a relaxed, creative environment.
This installment will feature fuse beads (also known by the brand name Perler beads), the plastic beads laid out in patterns on pegboards and ironed to a shiny, solid finish. Creating fuse bead items can be an almost meditative-like activity once you get in the groove, and there are tons of patterns available online from all corners of the pop culture fandom.
Participants may bring their favorite beverage of choice, and we'll provide all other materials and supplies. So come have some laughs, meet new friends, and walk away at the end of the night with some creative, nostalgic crafts!
