The Hexayurt Project is an open source housing project with > 1000 units deployed each year. However, there's more to the story - a transformation vision about how engineering "outside of the market" can change the world in ways that markets cannot manage. Over three billion people live substantially outside of the market: where could they go with with this technology? about this event: https://c3voc.de

Computers have become ubiquitous and essential, but they remain massively error-prone and insecure - as if we were back in the early days of the industrial revolution, with steam engines exploding left, right, and centre. Why is this, and can we do better? about this event: https://c3voc.de

I'm new to the Raspberry Pi. This is the story of how I embarked on a project to catch fly tippers on our local farms, but got distracted trying to frighten kids at Halloween, and discovered I'm feeding the local feline population. about this event: https://c3voc.de

A performance and talk about the chiptune music I create on my Game Boy, along with specially written visuals to go along with the set. about this event: https://c3voc.de

I write electronic music & build controllers with a nautical theme! Between playing tracks I'll answer questions about how our kit is set up and how it works. about this event: https://c3voc.de

Wiimote-controlled chiptune-inspired lo-fi synthpop from Dave Green (former NTK editor) & Dave Pape (Museum of Techno). about this event: https://c3voc.de

A series of short, funny, geeky talks by people who know their stuff, hosted by Steve Cross. This show will not be suitable for children! about this event: https://c3voc.de

Over the past 5 years since the final year of my undergraduate degree in 2009 I have been building a split-flap display (departure board) like you'd have seen at train stations and airports several years ago. This talk is about how I learnt almost everything I know through curiosity, trying, and making and iterating. about this event: https://c3voc.de

Why would anybody feel the need to create a webservice for writing graffiti on a Github commit history graph, when there are real problems that need solving? Come and find out in this talk, which also features the Sinclair Spectrum font and a brief exploration of the Github API. about this event: https://c3voc.de

A talk covering the basics of health, what you should be doing, and monitoring yourself at home. about this event: https://c3voc.de

The world's first computer, Colossus, was commissioned in 1943 just a few minutes away from the EMF camp. It gave Bletchley Park unprecedented access to the Hitler's most private communications. How did it work? Why was it built? Who designed it? All this and several shameless plugs for The National Museum of Computing. about this event: https://c3voc.de

A gently performative, slightly poetic talk on the ways games break; in personal and political, difficult and perfect ways. about this event: https://c3voc.de

A year ago we bought an old caravan and converted it into a 3 player starship disaster simulator called the "LHS Bikeshed". This is the story of how we've done it and not torn out all of our hair in the process. about this event: https://c3voc.de

We have developed a rugged, low-cost, portable fingerprint scanner and software that integrates with almost any existing mHealth application, allowing for real-time identification and access to patient records. We’re going to present our story, beginning as clueless students who managed to build a prototype from scratch in less than one year. With almost no money we tested it in the remote corners of Bangladesh, working with the largest development NGO in the world. about this event: https://c3voc.de

I'm a geek standing as an MP next year, and I'm learning how it all works as I go along, blogging and publishing open data wherever possible. I'll talk all about what I've found out so far, what's left to learn, and how easy it really is to stand up for a better future. about this event: https://c3voc.de

You thought two hackers, one keyboard was bad? Just wait until you see what hollywood does to lockpickers. From no-contact lockpicking to real rocks in a fake keys, and from reasonably realistic heists to 'fuck it, we'll do it live', we'll overview the diverse manner in which lockpickers and lockpicking are portrayed in the media. about this event: https://c3voc.de

Traditional metal casting can make parts of very high strengths, and 3D printing can produce things quickly out of fragile plastic parts. However the two processes can be joined, to produce the mould from a home-made 3D printer for use to make traditional metal castings. This talk will focus on the use of 3D printed parts to make investment castings in Aluminium. about this event: https://c3voc.de

Back in the days when I was a professional, card-carrying scientist, I was fascinated by the various tools that were being developed to measure very small things, very precisely. This talk covers some of the ones that really stuck, the ones that make you go "Really?? That's possible?" about this event: https://c3voc.de

I will talk about my PhD which is on using metamaterials and transformation optics to create invisibility cloaks and perfect Imaging devices. (Working invisibility cloak prototypes will not be provided) about this event: https://c3voc.de

A defence of shitty scientific programming. I'd like to outline some of the issues that scientists learning to code on the job might face, and also acknowledge how learning some software engineering skills will help your science progress faster and more reproducibly, with a few (not original) ideas about what those helpful things might be. about this event: https://c3voc.de

A very quick demonstration of how to use Twilio in under ten minutes. Expect audience participation! about this event: https://c3voc.de

What's the world's favourite number? How do numbers unconsciously influence decision-making? And what has Eratosthenes got to do with spaceships? I'll answer all these questions and more in a one hour talk about my latest book. about this event: https://c3voc.de

A talk about the OpenKnit project, and a demonstration of a working prototype. about this event: https://c3voc.de

At BBC Research and Development, part of our job is to think about and demonstrate what radio might be like in the future. To do this effectively, we need to be able to quickly and cheaply show how our ideas would work on physical radio sets, because this is still how the majority of people listen. This talk is about techniques we've developed to do this, from helping people to describe what they want from a radio, to filtering out bad ideas ("cat wigs"), to prototyping experiences on physical devices using a Raspberry Pi and web technologies. about this event: https://c3voc.de

A short talk on the legislative history of Disney World. It's not *quite* as boring as it sounds. about this event: https://c3voc.de

A talk about building UAVs, in particular quadrotors, from scratch, in an age where it's easy to buy them ready-made, or in kit form where you just have to plug a few components together. about this event: https://c3voc.de

A talk about hackerspaces, the problems with them, and how you can help combat those problems. about this event: https://c3voc.de
