Apartment hacks at the Hub /u/news/2017/02/09/apartment-hacks-at-the-hub/ Thu, 09 Feb 2017 22:05:00 +0000 /u/news/2017/02/09/apartment-hacks-at-the-hub/ Design Thinking is a creative process for defining problems and solving them. In this crash course, you’ll quickly learn the design thinking process while generating ideas to enhance your living space. We’ll empathize with one another to uncover solvable problems, generate many ideas faster than you could imagine, and we’ll prototype and test your ideas on the spot… all in less than 90 minutes!  And who knows, your ideas may be adopted on a larger scale. There will be prizes for design ideas and prototypes.

Learn to sew and make a rice bag /u/news/2017/02/09/learn-to-sew-and-make-a-rice-bag/ Thu, 09 Feb 2017 21:55:00 +0000 /u/news/2017/02/09/learn-to-sew-and-make-a-rice-bag/ Come to the Maker Hub this Wednesday, Feb. 15, from 7 to 9 p.m. and learn how to sew with a hands-on project!

A rice bag is a great easy way to start to learn to sew on the sewing machine. You will learn how to sew a straight stitch and turn a corner on the sewing machine. After your bag is stitched you will fill it with rice and then learn a simple hand stitch to close up the bag. You heat the bag and lay it on top of sore muscles (i.e. your shoulders after you have spent hours at the computer).  Instant relaxation!
