Join us for our basic metal working workshops. There will be instruction and collaboration for new people. Bring your metal projects and beverages to drink afterwards. This will be a free form event the second Friday of every month.
BECAUSE OF PROXIMITY TO THE HOLIDAYS, THE DECEMBER MEETING IS CANCELLED!!!
Exciting News!!! Starting in January we are going to channeling our inner hacker. We will be using things as they were never intended. Focus will be on salvaging, up-cycling, and reusing donated materials into new and usable objects. Ideas for starting projects will be pedestal stands for our plethora of grinders and wall art (donated wood and metal to make pictures and frames from scratch). Expect some planning in January and at the beginning of some meetings as projects require.
We use multiple online events. Do not worry if you are the only one signed up. People will be there.
It's the 20th anniversary of the Harry Potter universe and to celebrate Arch Reactor is hosting a series of Wand Making Parties in August!
Arch Reactor is making wands for an upcoming fundraising event and is Sharing the Fun! Stop by AR on August 12, 14, 19, 21, and 25 (see calendar for times) to make Wands!
This class is free and all basic supplies will be available. Please make several wands if you have time, choose your favorite to keep and give the rest to our fundraiser! (One wand per person, please, regardless of how many times you attend)
Children are welcome but will require parental supervision. Parents are warned that we will be using hot glue guns so caution and attention is required! Acrylic paint is also involved so please dress accordingly.
We are a little short of glue guns this year, so please bring along a glue gun that takes "mini" glue sticks if you have one.
It was a busy night at Arch Reactor Sunday. Some members were programming in java and laser etching in the clean lab. Mean while in the dirty shop. One member was forging a bearded hatchet, another was overhauling our south bend lathe, and a final member was using the Bridgeport to build parts for his battle bot. It was a cool cross section of the knowledge and capabilities at Arch Reactor.
Hey! We are in Kansas City today. We have lock picking, pysanky eggs, robots, terrarium, slime, and weaving. I will post links to the projects here when they are finished. For Pysanky Eggs: http://www.archreactor.org/project/pysanky-eggs For RC Sumo http://www.archreactor.org/project/rc-sumo-bots

Spring is in the air an we are going back out in Public. However COVID is still a real thing so we are goin to be alittle different this year.
So the way this works right now is :
--> we are keeping numbers down. So I won't be bringing my Kids. I'm not saying Kids aren't welcome, just that I won't have 4 or 5 with me to add to the congestion. if you are bringing yours, have some entertainment ideas for them if they aren't playing board games.
--> I am not Providing food or Drink to share, Less surfaces touched and all that. Plan on feeding yourself. you can bring food and put in the Fridge if that works for you, order out, or whatever.hosted by Frank Kallal please reach out ( Frank@kallal.net ) if there are Questions.

About Our Hackerspace
Arch Reactor was founded in 2009 by a group of friends who liked technology, programming, making, and pizza. Now St. Louis' largest hackerspace, Arch Reactor's growing membership continues to bring new skills, projects, equipment, and people to one place.
For a deeper understanding of what we're about, you should check out our explanation of hackerspaces, perhaps read about one of our members' projects, or (best of all) come meet us in person at the next open event!
