Interlock will once again be hosting a series of lightning talks this Friday, February 18th. These are five minute lectures and demonstrations that cover a variety of topics, and an evening typically consists of between 15 and 20 of them. This event is free and open to the public, and all attendees are welcome to present.
While Interlock is generally a tech savvy crowd, no subject matter is discouraged. Past topics have included homebrewing, chemistry, bookbinding, lockpicking, artificial intelligence, and plastic bag management. If you would like to give a presentation and have associated slides, please e-mail them to info@interlockroc.org, along with any special accomodations that might be necessary. We love to learn, so teach us something new!
Our doors will be open at 7:00PM, with refreshments courtesy of our friends at Cam’s Pizzeria East Avenue. Presentations will begin at 8:00PM, and should last a couple of hours. Event registration is available at Eventbrite. Seating is limited! Visit our Contact page for details on getting to our location.

Join us this Friday, November 12th at 8pm for another stimulating night of lightning talks at Interlock! Lightning talks are five minute(-ish) presentations on whatever topic you’re passionate about, and we try to get through fifteen or twenty of them in a night. The event is free and open to the public, and anybody is welcome to present. We’ll have some food and beverage on hand to stimulate digestion and discussion.
If you’re going to present, and need to get slides situated, please show up a little early and/or mail your slides to info@interlockroc.org sometime before the event. We encourage a wide variety of topics… not just tech-oriented subjects. Previous talks have been about lockpicking, homebrewing, bookbinding, artificial intelligence, basic electronics, laser cutting, and on and on. Teach us something new!
Here is our Googley Maps page where you can get directions to the space. Once you get into the parking lot of the Hungerford building, you’ll want to look for Door #1 and head down into the basement to find us.
Also, if you are on the Facebooks, please do RSVP to our event on said site, so we can calculate pizza ingestion and seating requirements. See you this Friday!

Next Thursday, July 15th, we will be making amateur radio 2M antennas (half-wave, j-pole). If anyone is interested in learning about antenna theory, soldering, or anything else that goes into making antennas… come down and check it out.
UPDATE: Due to a mixup with our supplier we won’t have the materials to make
antennas until NEXT Thursday, July 15th. We will hold antenna make
night then.
