An amazing point in history where we can access information, buy and communicate across the world yet have little idea what is happening in our local communities.

ARIoT is a community for #automation, #robotics, and #IoT enthusiasts interested in hands-on experimentation with real equipment, #electronics, and #tools alongside peers. Who meet up at the Parks Library at 1pm on the 3rd Sunday of each month, anyone is welcome. events.humanitix.com/ariot

City of Port Adelaide Enfield Touch a Truck event last Saturday; many hundreds came to our #library stall and enjoyed some craft and #STEM activations. Handcranked Barrel Organ, Electric Hat, Bicycle generator disco EV Van, Boat-Drone Paddlebots, hands-on science table, 1D Gaming, Buzz-Wire.

Explore #automation, #robotics, #RC, #$AI and #IoT through hands-on experiments and discussion. Bring your projects and get support. events.humanitix.com/ariot

Come along, David and I will be there with the fabulous libraries outreach team and lots of #STEM activations. www.facebook.com/share/18Pno6...

City of PAE #Libraries #STEM #Summer #Holiday Indoor #Rockets program at the Parks Library, then the Lights Community Centre. 63 #Children introduced to the basics of #Newtonian #Physics, #Rocket #aerodynamics, then built rockets, launched, modified, and then launched again.

The policy of balance has not worked; we should never give commercial vested interests and narrow self-interest equal weight. Scientific and academic economics must lead the conversation, and dissenters should be required to present well-reasoned arguments.

I'm setting up a new network of like-minded people to #create, #make, #hack, #tinker, #whimsical, #paradoxical and possibly unnecessary things just for the #joy of it. www.hardhack.org.au/paradoxical-...

After a year, our #cosmic-ray #muon detector's contribution at the Forever exhibit #MOD. museum has come to a close to prepare for next year's new exhibit. It's now safely home and still working with 926652 counts of muons and 36379040 counts of background. cosmicray.com.au/cosmic-forever

Meaningful work, activity, or recreation—whatever you choose to call it—is important in everyone’s life. Regardless of ability, disability, or individual talent, having a sense of purpose is a fundamental human need and a vital part of our quality of life.

A very special guest speaker at this Sunday's IoT meeting. Dr Sebastian Tomczak (Little-Scale) is an Adelaide-based music technologist little-scale.blogspot.com Discussing his experiments with IoT, Home Assistant, and Max for Live/Ableton integration. events.humanitix.com/iot-experime...

Registrations open July 14th collections.humanitix.com/stem-squad

Come and visit me at the Port Plaza on Friday 11:30 am to 1:30 pm I'll have some #stem activities and activations. ;) www.portadelaideplaza.com.au/event-and-of...

The new indoor paper #rocket #holiday program ran just as well as our outdoor air-water rocket program. Some exploded on the launch pad, only one got stuck in the roof :)

#cosmicray #enthusiasts in #adelaide I'm planning an event, for the 14th International Cosmic Day, Thursday 13th November 2025, at PEA Libraries at Parks. Please email me if you would like to help and be involved, [email protected]. We can schedule a meeting to discuss. icd.desy.de

How do you build a paper #rocket launcher?

Just completed a new indoor #rocket launching system.

We are hosting a special all day #stem #training for all #sa #library people in collaboration with #South #Australia public libraries #PLS. It's being held at the lovely Parks #Library and #Makerspace on 16th June. Send me an email to [email protected] for details.

Our next #Iot #experimenters is next Sunday, 18 May, 1 pm—3 pm—Parks #Library CR2 (events.humanitix.com/iot-experime...). The agenda is the Rain Gauge Model RG-15 (rainsensors.com/products/rg-...). I also have some of the #RAK Wisblock-meshtastic-starter-kits and other #electronics equipment

Terrorism US ICE.. What does terrorism look like? People being abducted by armed men, without uniforms, warrants, identification, in unmarked cars and then being deported without due legal processes.

Today, the #PAE #Libraries #STEM team explained #rocket #science to 20 children and their families. The children then built and launched their own air-water rockets on Semaphore Beach.

Everyone asks me how to build an #air-water #rocket launcher, so I'm slowly moving information about projects unrelated to Cosmic Rays to my old hardhack.org.au domain. hardhack.org.au/rockets-air-...

Look at what the LNP did when in government: 10 years of nothing on climate mitigation, funding corporations billions on carbon capture nonsense. Making the poor, unemployed, and aboriginal a crime. Dumping down public service, outsourcing to consultancy. Dutton doesn't like you and will do more.

Techno-authoritarianism is not a new fad of the techno-bros. Its roots are in fascism, surprise-surprise. Forget the past and break things www.abc.net.au/listen/progr...

Rockets on the #beach bookings opened today, almost booked out. #Adelaide #Semaphore #Rocket #Science events.humanitix.com/rockets-on-t...

Really?? Reduce the cost of living?? By sacking 1000s of people, stopping wage growth and spending billions of taxpayers' money to fund corporations to build complex nuclear-powered steam machines backed up by fracking thousands of methane gas wells because solar and wind are ugly?

I heard a comment that tariffs are like putting rocks in your harbour to stop boats coming in. So retaliating by putting rocks in our own harbour so boats can't go out is ridiculous.

The first pre-launch system checks begin, parts counting charging batteries, making minor repairs, lubricating and pressure testing.

One of our special interest groups I organise at the #library has been collecting #microclimate data at 4 locations across Adelaide for nearly 3 years. It is an #opensource project, and data is accessible to download. hardhack.org.au/microclimates/

Built Launch systems for Air-Water Rockets since 2017. I've built several versions with several 100 launches. Current system launches four rockets simultaneously, 100 metres high. Our next launch window is scheduled for the School Holidays on Semaphore Beach. events.humanitix.com/host/paelibr...

Oh my goodness! hackaday.io is being bandwidth throttled/censored/restricted; it has been operating since 2004 :( What next, Wikipedia?

A very special new type of component I'm going to experiment with.
