Doe mee aan de workshop Meshcore 📻! Meshwatte? Ja, vreemde naam, maar MeshCore is eigenlijk super simpel.

Stel de zombie apocalypse ontstaat of een oorlog en er is geen gsm netwerk of internet meer… Geen paniek via een MeshCore-netwerk kan je gelukkig met al je geliefden communiceren over een gedecentraliseerd netwerk. Geen instantie die het controleert, alles verloopt over verschillende punten tot bij jou! Een meshnetwerk dus…

🎺🌿 This Thursday marks the final workshop of the first chapter of Secrets of the Garden. In this session, we will explore the creation of horn speakers and discover how form can amplify sound in unique and organic ways. Inspired by the fascinating behavior of the mole cricket (which digs horn-shaped tunnels to naturally amplify its call) we will explore new ways of amplifications.

👉 Please register via https://forms.gle/1ZcFML8fmQBuChFMA if you would like to join us for dinner, so we know how many people to prepare food for.
