From Decatur Makers…

This Saturday 5/10, folks from the Decatur Makers will be building a PC from parts and setting up the 3D printer (Taz Lulzbot 2.0) that we got

thanks to the generosity of the Decatur Business Association’s Beer Festival Grants.

The event is will be at the Decatur Recreation Center between 10 and 2. It’s free to watch and help. Bring your own parts (a suggested list is here http://bit.ly/1pIGwzi ) if you want to build with us.

If you bring an old PC we’ll help you put Linux on it (a great thing to do with that now unsupported Windows XP system)!

PC expert Sam Lysinger from simplycompute.net will be there to help folks 12 and older (kids come with a parent/adult, please) through a
FREE detailed Build A PC class.
