Laser Cutter Safety Training

Sun, Jul 5, 9:00 PM

From Noisebridge Hackerspace

Learn how to be safe while using the laser cutter! We have a 150W, CO2 laser cutter with a 3 x 4 ft bed. This training is required to use the laser cutter because we don't want people setting our most expensive equipment donation on fire. You have to do this training even if you were trained at the old space, as we have different safety features now. Training covers * Dangers of the laser cutter * How to be safe * How to put out a fire Each participant will cut a piece of cardboard on the laser cutter while following all the safety steps. This is also a good place to ask questions about specific materials or projects. There is a 5$ fee to register, and we suggest a 20-30$ donation for this class: https://donate.noisebridge.net. If the registration fee is a barrier to your participation, please reach out to the event organisers.

From Founders Running Club :: San Francisco

**RSVP via:** https://app.gistirl.com/event-details/Yi6OFBBJbI8Op7JVjqWQ **Early Bird Discounts | More $ Later** ** Important: Registering on Meetup alone does not reserve your spot. To secure your spot, please download the Gist IRL app and complete your registration there. Looking to meet new people while exploring one of San Francisco's most vibrant neighborhoods? Join us for the Grant Avenue Food Crawl, a social experience designed to help you make real connections with people from the Bay Area and around the world. Whether you're a local, new to the city, or just visiting for the week, this is an easy and fun way to step outside your usual circle and meet people you may never have crossed paths with otherwise. We'll kick things off with Gistirl, an app that makes connecting with new people feel natural and comfortable. Instead of sticking with the same one or two conversations all night, you'll have the chance to meet a variety of people through a series of guided one on one chats. Over the first part of the evening, you'll rotate through ten short conversations, giving you the opportunity to discover shared interests, hear different stories, and make meaningful connections. After we've had time to get to know one another, we'll head out into San Francisco's Chinatown for the Grant Avenue Food Crawl. Together, we'll explore bustling streets filled with food vendors, hidden bakeries, local favorites, sweet treats, music, and cultural experiences. You can stay with the larger group or branch off with people you've connected with throughout the evening. Expect great food, interesting conversations, lots of laughter, and the chance to leave with new friendships and memorable experiences. We've had incredible turnouts in the past, and every event brings together a diverse mix of people who are open, curious, and excited to connect. Come hungry. Come curious. Come solo or bring a friend. You never know who you're going to meet. **RSVP via:** https://app.gistirl.com/event-details/Yi6OFBBJbI8Op7JVjqWQ **Early Bird Discounts | More $ Later**
