What is the Media Maker's Lab?

The Media Maker's Lab is a small-scale flexible space where aspiring entrepreneurs, engineers and artists come together to explore connections between technology, music, sound, visual arts and movement. It is a low-stakes community of learners, where experimentation is encouraged and failure is seen as a necessary step in an iterative process of produced design, fabrication and innovation. Our lab is rooted in constructionist theories pioneered by Seymour Papert and others.
Equipment:
  1. A Mac M4 running Ableton Live Suite, Max 9, Logic Pro, Fusion 360, Adobe and lots of open-source software such as Pd, Blender, and much more
  2. Raspberry Pi 5 computer running Debian Linux
  3. Modular synthesizer with many modules by Pittsburgh Modular
  4. X-Tronic soldering station
  5. Siglent oscilloscope, DC voltage generator and signal generator for electronics prototyping and fabrication
  6. Heavy-duty workbenches
  7. Prusa MK4S 3D printer (and a second Prusa MK4 backup printer)
  8. A four-channel audio studio system
  9. Singer HD-4432 heavy duty sewing machine
  10. Tons of electronics components
  11. Book and reference collection
  12. Free coffee
We invite speakers to tell us about their work, and hosting noontime workshops in the lab to teach topics ranging from the Linux command line, to basic 3D modeling, to simple electronics fabrication, to basic textile construction.
