      • 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!
