Splat Space will be participating in the global hackerspaces.org monthly hackathon this Saturday, January 15th. Join us at Splat Space at 1pm for a full day of collaboration and innovation. We will be hosting an Arduino Hack Afternoon as part of the hackathon as well!
During the hackathon, we’ll be working together on the hackerspaces.org Cupcake Challenge. For this event, all the hackerspaces in the world have been challenged to ship a cupcake over 1,000 miles to another hackerspace in tasty and pristine condition.
Since additional points are accrued for the distance the cupcake travels, we contacted some friends over at the Tokyo Hackerspace and will be sending our SplatCake overseas, approximately 7,000 miles! More details on the challenge can be found here. Come out on Saturday to participate or follow the excitement on uStream!
