An Arduino programming group starting from scratch. We'll meet up and figure it out collectively. This is meant to be a convenient weekly get together where we bring our projects, work on them and try to work past roadblocks. It is also meant to inspire. What are you doing with this micro controller? What are you bringing to life with it? Are you animating your house, making interactive kinetic sculpture, making a robot? I've got a place for us to meet in old town Pasadena with nice big tables w …

Like the fictional brain in a vat, artificial minds are useless if they are not connected to the real world. Embodied cognitive systems require bodies and worlds where they can interact, explore, and learn. An open framework which connects artificial minds to devices in the real or virtual worlds is therefore of paramount importance. This undertaking involves both building the framework, a mind server, and building cognitive systems, minds, which can be instantiated on demand to control mobile d …

This meetup is for those interested in the Arduino micro-controller and making projects with it. We are an off-shoot from the L.A. Robotics club. We plan to hold monthly meetings where we can learn to use and program the Arduino. We are not ready to accept new members yet.  For the time being please join the La Robotics club meetup.

These are not your typical software engineering events. Our events cover topics related to software engineering along with business but aim to change the perspective of those who attend. Our focus is on emerging technologies such as Big Data, Robotics, Artificial Intelligence, Nanotechnology, 3D printing, Machine Learning, MapReduce, Semantic Web technologies, alongside more traditional topics like Ruby on Rails, HTML5, PHP, node.js, and Python. We reach out to the entire Los Angeles metropolita …

This group is for anyone interested in learning, developing and building stuff with Arduino. The main idea is to have talks and meetings about topics related with Arduino. Also it would be great if we can take that further by working on projects and experiments/research. People from every level are welcome to join this group.

Interested in Making at any level? It's called So Cal Makers and is intended to reach out to anyone who might be interested in making.  Want to make something?  Add a topic.  We'll help you find a place and coordinate it. The age group is all ages, but some activities are developed for youth. The meet up is intended to be a collaborative promotional site for those who wish to share their events. We are currently scheduling activities at the following locations: BSA Scout Sea Base - 5875 Appian …

It's becoming increasingly clear that technology is reshaping our world in incredibly profound ways. Let's get together to discuss, think, argue and explore what this change means for our most deeply felt beliefs. What is the value/purpose/meaning of a human life in a world where we're increasingly outdated? I anticipate this group being a discussion/reading/movie watching group. I've got some authors I'd like to explore (Ray Kurzweil, Thomas Carlson, John Modern among others) and movies I want …

How It Works: ============== The basic minimum requirements are that you show up at a Meetup. The minimum requirement for you to really get something out of it is that you show up with some of your music. The core process goes like this: * Set aside a block of time, preferably 12 hours and as close to the meetup as is reasonable. * Try to write and complete(1) 20 songs(2) during that 12 hours (this is the "Immersion" part) * Whatever you have done, you bring to the meetup. * You …

How can someone eat an elephant? One bite at a time. How can someone change the world? Solve one problem at a time. This group aims to explore the problem space of the world and to brainstorm solutions to those problems. We'll host weekly forums for brainstorming, discussions and workshops to conceive and implement our group solutions. We will start with a focus on Brain Machine Interface technology, Prosthetics and AI but other topics and areas are open for discussion. We invite everyone from t …
