[Noisebridge-discuss] Thursday science night ?

[Christie Dudley]

I do like the idea of having a night where people can explore "science on
the cheap" engaging in interesting projects from common materials.  To me,
this is the most basic form of hacking.  Perhaps you could have "theme"
nights so you could focus on a specific area of science or engineering each
time and people can be prepared.
