Hack the Lab: Temperature – controlling, measuring and experimenting with it
Saturday 6 June, 12:00-17:00, Makespace classroom, 16 Mill Lane, Cambridge
RSVP: http://www.meetup.com/Makespace/events/222377763/
The third instalment of the monthly ‘Hack the Lab’ meetup on open hardware (and software) for science will be focusing on temperature: how to control it, measure it and perform experiments in temperature-controlled conditions. We’ll be discussing useful components and their pros and cons in addition to seeing presentations and demos of work on open lab tools from the Engineering Department.
