In the wake of the news that young maker Ahmed Mohamed was wrongly arrested for bringing a homemade clock to school, we decided there was only one thing to do: make more clocks! In solidarity with Ahmed and many others who are the victims of ongoing discrimination, we are hosting a Clock Making Hackathon to demonstrate our support, raise awareness of stereotyping, and inspire more (young) makers to continue tinkering, regardless of their age, ability, gender, sexual orientation, religion or colour. In that spirit, this community event is open to anyone and everyone to attend – adults, children, beginners, experts – hackathons are designed so that everyone is able to meaningfully contribute, learn new skills, share knowledge, collaborate in teams, and come out the other end having created a new thing! We're bringing piles of clock mechanisms, old clocks, LEDs, wood, 3D printers and thanks to a generous donation from Particle, Photon Arduino microcontrollers and electronic components! So the clocks might be digital, analog, web-based, artistic, wearable, robotic, or nature-tuned. Maybe your clock will make you a cup of tea when it's time to wake up, or collect pollution data, or count in dog years! Mentors will be on hand to assist with tech skills. Join us in a race against the clock to build a clock, in support of Ahmed and the greater cause his story represents! When: Thursday 24th September 2015 (that's next Thursday!), 4 - 8:30 pm Where: Mozilla, 366 Adelaide Street West, 5th floor What: Clock Making Hackathon Who: You! Cost: Free!  Show your support on Twitter with #IStandWithAhmed What is a hackathon? Hackathons are fast-paced collaborative events where participant from diverse walks of life come together to work in teams and build something new in a limited amount of time – whether it's a piece of software, a robot, or a clock! Teams are organized so that there is a diversity of skills and abilities, and facilitators guide participants to design and build their own projects. Snacks are eaten, friends are made, and inventions are presented to one another at the end of the event.  What if I've never built anything before? Then we encourage you to come so you can! There is always a wealth of experienced folks at hackathons, and it's the beginners who bring new eyes and alternative experiences to make projects even more awesome.   Can I bring my family? Please do! This event will be organized so that folks of all ages are able to participate. ------------ By attending this event you are agreeing to the following: Assumption of Risk and Release You agree that you and/or your child are voluntarily participating in the STEAMLabs Program with knowledge of the risks of doing so, such as the risks of injury, property damage, or death resulting from the use of potentially dangerous tools or materials, and/or the active or passive negligence of STEAMLabs, the Program sponsors and suppliers and their respective officers, directors, employees, agents, and exhibitors (collectively, “we” or “us”).
