From Bronx CRAFT@large Meetup Group

A monthly meetup for Bronx based makers, creatives and builders ages 18 and older exploring the future of making and workforce development. For this meetup, we will gather at the [NYC FIRST STEM Center](https://www.nycfirst.org/stem-center-locations/afh) at [Andrew Freedman Home](https://www.theafh.org/) for a hands on activity using a laser machine, offering an opportunity to explore digital fabrication and learn by making. We will rotate locations around the borough and meet up every month for a presentation, discussion, hands on activity, or just time to talk shop. If you are not an expert, do not fret! It is about showing up, sharing what you are working on, and meeting other people making things with their hands in the Bronx. Beginners and pros are welcome. Just come as you are! *This event is for people 18 years of age or older*

Winterfat Writing Circle #3: Lessons of the Land

Winterfat Writing Circle #3: Lessons of the Land

Mon, Nov 2, 12:00 AM
From Winterfat Reading Room, Writing Circle, and Presse

**Winterfat Presse's third writing circle will be on Sunday, November 1st, in respect to fall and around the theme: "Lessons of the Land."** To cooperate with the natural order of things, to let ourselves hibernate, rot, be reborn, in no particular order but always quite inevitably... how can we learn to mirror the land with grace? There is so much to cite from the cyclical nature of the world, and much to reflect on regarding the communities that have built in respect to the land, treating its hierarchies and changes as something to adapt around, rather than to take advantage of or sacrifice. This workshop will ask questions that connect us to our bodies, their relationship to the changing season, how we see ourselves in the world around us, and how we can engage with more intention and excitement in these tumultuous times. There is always the earth (at least for now, and hopefully for much longer!). Please bring paper and something to write with! We will have printed packets with writings to discuss and prompts to peek at. See you on Sunday ;-) *This event will be facilitated by our editors Lucille Lindberg and Nya Morgan, and is free to all who need it. We just ask that you support the venue by buying something small.*

Prototyping in Public: Where Art and Science Get Tested on the Gallery Floor

Prototyping in Public: Where Art and Science Get Tested on the Gallery Floor

Wed, Nov 4, 12:00 AM
From Startup Grind NYC
4.7

What if a museum ran like a lab, with the experiment still in progress? **[Ann Neumann](https://www.museumnext.com/speakers/ann-neumann/)** is Director of Galleries and Exhibitions at the **[MIT Museum](https://mitmuseum.mit.edu/)**. Her question for the evening: can a museum serve as infrastructure for public experimentation, **a place where visitors take part in the work** rather than just walk through it? If you build products, run pilots, or spend your days deciding what's ready to put in front of real people, **this is a look at how one of the best-known science museums handles prototyping in public.** In collaboration with the **[National Arts Club](https://www.nacnyc.org/)** and its **[Art and Technology Committee](https://www.nacnyc.org/arts-and-programs/committees)**, Ann will walk through the interactive projects she's shepherded at the MIT Museum. **Each one works as a prototype for engaging the public with technologies** like CRISPR, machine learning, and sensory neuroscience. Reserve your spot and arrive early. Space is limited. Founded in 1898, the **[National Arts Club](https://www.nacnyc.org/)** is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit with a mission to stimulate, foster, and promote public interest in the arts and to educate the American people in the fine arts. Annually, the Club offers more than 150 free programs—both in-person and virtually—to the public, including exhibitions, theatrical and musical performances, lectures, and readings, attracting an audience of over 30,000 in-person visitors and thousands more online.
