Join us Thursday, April 7th at the Supplyframe Design Lab for talks and time to show off your projects -- there will be food and drinks! RSVP here: http://www.meetup.com/Hackaday-Los-Angeles/events/229843869/

FEATURED GUEST SPEAKERS:

Robert de Groot on Caltech's Quake-Catcher Network, a citizen science project that hopes to create the world's largest, low-cost strong-motion seismic network! This collaborative initiative uses a distributed computing network to let individuals improve earthquake monitoring with real-time motion sensing. The Quake-Catcher Network team also uses this project for educational outreach programs.

Stu McLellan on cryptocurrency - Are cryptocurrencies the biggest disruptor since the dawn of the internet? Genuine revolution or passing fad? Stu is both a technologist and an entrepreneur, interested in how new technologies can empower people.

Call for Lightning Talks: It wouldn't be a Hackaday meetup without some great projects and ideas. If you have a topic or project you'd like to speak about for two minutes, get in touch with Liz Krane!
