Conclusion: A better world hackathon
Introduction: The Better World Hackathon, hosted by MakeHaven, recently concluded in Downtown New Haven, Connecticut. As a proud member of the organizing team and a participant in the event, I am excited to share my experience and highlight the incredible innovations that emerged during this inspiring weekend.
Risograph printer
They're really cool! They are also having something of a 'moment' amongst comic authors / printmakers / artists / etc., and I think it would be fun to have one in New Haven.
Power/Pressure Washer for the Lending Library
A high PSI gas powered pressure washer is needed to remove graffiti, super caked in dirt, or just to reach spaces beyond what a cheaper electric power washer can do. However, it's not the kind of thing that you'd need to use every weekend, it would be much better to split it up between many MH members.
Jewelers drill press
Machine Shop, Jewelry Shop, and Electronics Shop can all benefit from a small accessible high speed drill press. High speeds are necessary to spin the tiny drills used to make small holes in Jewelry parts, Printed Circuit Boards, and small-scale precision devices.
Although not a recommendation, this $118 drill-press at this link achieves 8500 RPM.
