“Hangout & Nerdout” is a digital neighborhood meetup sequence co-produced by Hackster and Make:. The month-to-month get-together brings members of each communities collectively to discover expertise, innovation, and schooling.
Everybody grows up taking part in, however some take it to the acute with their very own maker spin! This Hangout & Nerdout episode options three visitors giving talks concerning the toys and RC automobiles they’ve helped create. Ghostbusters: Afterlife’s prop maker Ben Eadie might be sharing film magic and CAD suggestions. Eliza Kosoy did not see many faces like hers in her STEM profession, so she made the programmable, inspirational Eliza Dolls. And as CTO of Holybro, Vincent Poon might be sharing his story and among the newest developments in drone FPV and autopilot expertise.
