dorkbot-boston is a monthly gathering of people doing strange things with electricity. Artists, designers, engineers, students, scientists, hackers and anyone else interested in the creative use of electricity are encouraged to attend. dorkbot meetings are free, family-freindly and open to the public. Bring your projects, in whatever state they are in, and bring 10 friends! This summer, dorkbot will present: hands-on workshops, outdoor hacking events (Breadboards and BBQ), tours of interactive entertainment venues, and internationally known tinkerers. To participate, please visit http://dorkbotboston.com and join our mailing list.

Many thanks to 5 Wits, Inc. for hosting our July meeting.

5 Wits’ premier show, TOMB, is a 45-minute interactive adventure experience set in an incredibly realistic pharaoh’s tomb in an archaeological dig site in ancient Egypt. At the dorkbot meeting, you’ll have the chance to go through the TOMB and then hear from its designers and engineers about how they implemented the special effects and “gags” you just experienced in the show. We’ll get to look behind the scenes and see details of the build process for one of our newest installations.

Our presenter:
Schulyer Towne is the in-house graphic and web designer for 5 Wits, Inc. He is a recognized expert in the art of speed lock picking (”locksport”) & is the Executive Editor for Non-Destructive Entry Magazine.
