FamiLAB Open House Recap
A few of us went to FamiLAB, the hackerspace in Longwood and our main collaborators for pretty much everything, but mainly opening a biospace come summer!
They have an open house on the first Tuesday of every month, so we went earlier this week - there were a lot of people of all ages and backgrounds, some DJs trying their hand at some surprisingly good mixes, and a grillmaster outside with burgers.
Grab a name tag made of painter's tape, high-five some people, and start talking about who you are, what you want to do, and marvel at the fact that UCF students can become members for only $20 a month. This means you too can have a "space" where you can use tools and receive instruction on anything you want to build and access it any time of day.
Our group is planning to host a class to teach the community to transform green fluorescent protein (GFP) into bacteria and / or yeast as our first project. If you have any cool ideas for biohacking classes, let us know!
Check out FamiLAB's open house!
