As part of an initiative to develop a biohacking community in new haven, I would like to host an informal meeting in a few weeks at the space for people interested in DIY bio to come and see makehaven and discuss Ideas, Possibilities, etc. for a biohackerspace. Any comments/suggestions are welcome.
I run a privacy-respecting social network called Foojbook at https://foojbook.net
I'm looking for folks to:
a) Join the network! It's private and accounts must be approved by an admin, but I'll be happy to approve you. Register at https://foojbook.net/register

One idea is to build a simple air powered rocket. We could decorate it with MakeHaven bling and fly it into a tower of cans or something?
There are some great plans out there but they would take some work (for example:http://blog.makezine.com/projects/make-compressed-air-rockets-kit/)
