Meet-Ups
Open House

Freeside holds open houses on the second and fourth Tuesday of each month, so that people can see what we have, discuss what we can help do, and meet interesting Freesiders and guests. We explain what Freeside is, review upcoming classes and other events, and briefly introduce ourselves. Then we give a tour of the space, mingle and talk shop.

Monthly Build-Out

Members get to flex their right to hack on the space infrastructure and hack Freeside itself into a collective vision. Non-members are welcome! We could always use extra hands for buildouts and are happy to show you around the space. Make sure to wear closed-toe shoes and fitted clothing, & be ready to get your hands dirty!

DIY Bio

Freeside has a DIY Bio lab! This meetup will be for the collective discussion of bio lab usage and news in the DIY Bio world. In this meetup, we will: present something cool, cover lab safety and usage, plan projects, & talk about general bio topics and news.

Come to Freeside and geek out with us in the bio lab on the 2nd Monday of each month!

This group is about getting together to learn and practice advanced programming techniques with pizza! Every meetup we go over different topics like Sorting Algorithms, Data Structures, Knapsack Problems, Traveling Salesman, Learning Algorithms, Flow Networks, Combinatorics, Graph Theory, & whatever else you might be interested in! This meetup is aimed at new/mid level to expert level programmers to help better everyone’s skills.

Freeside Brainiacs looks at both the technology of brain-computer interfaces and the biology of how the brain works.
