Open to anyone in the area who is interested in developing video games. In order to have a little structure, we'll try to do a couple things each week:

Introduce new members. What have you worked on, game related or not? What do you want to work on next?

Discuss this week's conversation starter. Some article, video or game that we can dig into a little.

Members can present any games they're working on, for feedback or just to brag.

Of course, it's all very informal. The main goal is interesting conversation(s) about our passion.

Looking forward to it!

Sunday, July 1, 2018 at 12:00:00 PM The NEW HammerSpace Community Workshop 5200 E. 45th St., Kansas City, MO

Celebrate the 4th of July and build your own pneumatic launch station to send paper rockets soaring hundreds of feet!

The launch station uses an electric valve and pressurized air to launch rockets as high as you choose.

The Mission Control box contains a safety toggle switch, ARM indicator and launch button and provides wired control of the launch platform. This launch platform is built around your very own AC powered 3 gallon air compressor with gauges and regulator for adjusting launch height.

Once filled, the 3 gallon tank can provide many launches before being recharged in about 1 minute from any outlet. Connect an extension cord for unlimited launching!

The paper rockets are easy to make and nearly free if you use junk mail! Launch them many times, as a safe and cheap replacement for fireworks.

Paint and personalize your launch station with decals and you will be the envy of every park outing!

Ok, this class is slightly more expensive than most of our youth classes, but we promise you are going to love this gadget for years to come. This has been a hit at every outdoor event with children for the past 8 years. Don't miss out on this annual build.

This a class designed for a parent and child to explore woodworking together and build -2- really neat table top catapults suitable for assaulting a lego fort or sand castle, or hurling delicious marshmallows at each other.

We will use the CNC router to cut the basic shapes, and the saws, sanders, and drill presses to finish the parts. Use dowel rods and screws to assemble the parts and adjust your rubber bands to prepare for battle.
