Sunday the door opens at 11am, so stop on down to learn how to solder a flashing rainbow coloured led, check out a few projects from the hive, and get a rush with MORE POWER with the power tool drag racing! I hope everyone will have a blast with the events we are running this year!nn nn nnn

nnn nnWelcome to the Hive13 hackerspace. A community space for technology enthusiasts to gather and collaborate on projects. Basically if you want to build anything digital or physical you can do it here. We will be going on a tour exploring everything from programming, lasers, 3D printing to CNC milling machines.nnWe are especially excited to invite futurist Marvin Dejean, author of “The DNA of Reinvention” to give us a glimpse into the future. Check out some of his writing here.nn nnThe event will be held on** August 12th**, from 6:30pm to 8:30pm.nn

nDo you think the “Maker Movement” is something new? Well, think again. This photo shows Henry Ford contemplating his first 1896 Quadricycle. By the 1920’s Henry had made his 10 millionth Model T, a.k.a. Tin Lizzy, shown behind him, and we now have the world-wide auto industry of today.nnContemplating growing your own maker hobby into something larger like Henry did?nnJoin us this Tuesday, August 11, after the 7:30pm business meeting, when not-quite-so-old ‘Old-Hand’ Clarence Stogner (father of member Will) takes us for a ride down his own memory lane.nnClarence’s story started in the US Navy working on manual-control piston-engine T28 aircraft and A6E jet aircraft with advanced hydraulic systems. Combining his early machining background with a mechanical engineering degree, he has worked on designing and improving valve/actuators and related controls for the past 39 years. He was a principal owner in two businesses that spanned 18 of those years. Presently at A-T Controls here in Cincinnati, he leads a product development team that adapts valve/actuator hydraulic products from Asia for the special demands of oil well field operations.nnMembers, guests, first-time-walk-ins, and all those interested are welcome to come for this interesting talk on Tuesday, August 11, after the 7:30pm business meeting.
