LA Robotics Club is an organization that promotes the experimentation with electronics, provides a forum for discussion and sharing information, and gives its members a community to participate in and learn about the field of robotics and machine technology. We focus on projects that can be created on a tight budget, as well as large-scale artistic installations that require weeks of preparation and planning. Current projects include a Gantry Robot, a Homemade CNC machine, electro-luminescent mu …

Hi my name is Zeke and i am the founder of Computer Science Laboratories. I was one of the co developers of the Lasek eye surgical machines, the Tamagotchi (virtual pet), I have worked for NASA, JPL and Hughes Space and communications. I was a also a prototype engineer for Lanard Toys and Mattel. I am a robotics engineer and prototype engineer. I started this group to introduce people to Arduino, microcontrollers and product development, more specifically; prototyping.

Please  check http://www.Vocademy.com for the latest info! This Meetup group started out as a way for me to share info on the shop 101 and other hands-on classes I was hosting.  But since then the idea has grown, and we are in the process of starting a physical makerspace in the Inland Empire.  A place where you can go to learn hands-on skills and be able to use those skills in a (large, fully equipped) dream workshop. 3D printing, laser engraving, machine shop, wood shop, sewing & crafts, CAD/C …

If you like to build your own robots, come join us! These can be any kind of robots. Maybe small table-top autonomous robots made from Lego Mindstorms kits, or with custom Arduino brains. Or larger custom machined bots with Android cell phones as brains. Maybe quad-copter flying bots. How about battle bots. Or sumo bots. Or fire-fighting bots. Or? Let's get together and show off our robots and maybe create some local robotics competitions. Or maybe prepare together for national robotic competiti …

About us: The Riverside Robotics Society is a group that promotes robotics in every way. Our monthly meetings will include classes on robotics, tips and pointers, contests, show and tell. Open to people over the age of 10. (Those under 18 must have parent present.) Our members create everything from miniature "bug bots" to full-scale human-size robots. We are an official branch of the Southern California Robotic Society!

A support group for hands-on self-learning of software & electronic for Robotics. - Arduino, BeagleBone, Sensors & Actuators - PCB Design and Manufacturing - C/C++ and Assembly programming - SolidWorks PS: IF YOU HAVE ACCESS TO A LAPTOP FRIENDLY LOCATION IN IRVINE FOR A SMALL GROUP OF UP TO 6 PEOPLE ONCE A WEEK THAT WOULD BE A GREAT WAY TO SUPPORT AND PARTICIPATE TO THIS GROUP.

This meetup is for those interested in the Arduino micro-controller and making projects with it. We are an off-shoot from the L.A. Robotics club. We plan to hold monthly meetings where we can learn to use and program the Arduino. We are not ready to accept new members yet.  For the time being please join the La Robotics club meetup.

If you're a reader of Make Magazine, this group might be for you!  Our goal is to bring together people who like to make things, anything from robots to cheese!  Bring your ideas, questions and/or projects and work on them or, jump in on someone else's project. There are no age or gender limitations, we welcome all!

The best way to know what vnext is all about is to view this video (new blog, needs content): http://bit.ly/vnext-interview or on YouTube here:  http://bit.ly/CrescentSolutionsVnextInterview. Although we've had numerous high-profile speakers, including ex-MSFT CTO's, CEO's and some of the best developers in their fields such as Laurent Bugnion of MVVM Light, Brian Lagunas and Craig Shoemaker of Infragistics, and many, many more, we were lucky enough to have Mr. Charles Petzold (Bill Gates named …

FAB LAB is focused on developing creative learning experiences for people of all ages, and engaging students and community to explore ideas through the use of innovative technology. We welcome anyone interested in discussing or promoting physical fabrication and community-building based on digital techniques (2d cutting and folding, 3d printing and milling, etching, circuits, microprocessors, Web design, etc). FAB LAB San Diego was founded by Xavier Leonard and Katie Rast.

We are a group of educators, hackers, artists, and others interested in building the Young Makers movement in LA. Whether you call them Fab Labs, SmartLabs, or Makerspaces... whatever permutation they take, let's join forces and get more going here in SoCal.

Interested in Making at any level? It's called So Cal Makers and is intended to reach out to anyone who might be interested in making.  Want to make something?  Add a topic.  We'll help you find a place and coordinate it. The age group is all ages, but some activities are developed for youth. The meet up is intended to be a collaborative promotional site for those who wish to share their events. We are currently scheduling activities at the following locations: BSA Scout Sea Base - 5875 Appian …

The Urban Workshop is a large membership based workshop in Irvine, California that provides tools, equipment and classes in a wide range range of fields including: Metal shop, Wood Shop, Welding, CNC Machining, Auto shop, Engineering, computer lab, Fabric and textile area, 3D printing, Laser cutting and etching and more. We are open to the public and membership is set up like a gym membership. You can choose to go month to month or sign up for a year and save a few bucks. We strive to have a lot …

This group is for those who would like to build a 3d printer, but would prefer working in a team rather than alone. There will be a meetup a few times a week and members will each build their 3d printers together. We can order parts, assemble, modify code, brainstorm and troubleshoot together. The goal is for each member to build their own personal 3d printer, make friends, and of course learn. :)

worklab CC is a Creative Coworking space and workshop space in Huntington Beach, CA. Our Members will get to use exciting new technology for 3D printing, laser cutting, and 3D modeling tools. worklab CC members and workshop students will be able to design 3D models, create physical prototypes and manufacture their final design. There's something for everyone at worklab CC. Whatever your background or skill sets, come for the meetup and prepare to be inspired! Join us to learn about 3D Printing, …
