2012: The year in review!

FUBAR had a great 2012!  Thank you to everyone who has helped make the space awesome.  There's lots more coming up for 2013.

Some highlights from 2012:
  • Our fundraisers have been successful, including our first tools fundraiser
  • We expanded our space
  • Gifted Heroes conference and classes were very well received
  • We ran successfully, and now have, a full suite of classes, covering electronics, Arduino, laser cutting, and programming
  • Assisted some First Robotics Teams
  • The space is genuinely useful: it’s reasonably clean, stocked with working tools, and getting better organized
  • Made the Star Ledger: http://www.nj.com/news/index.ssf/2012/03/rutgers_to_create_2_hackerspac.html
  • Successful presence at Steampunk World Fair, Trenton Computer Festival, and the Highland Park Street Fair
  • Two members made Hack-A-Day - congratulations to Jason and Graham!
  • Formed an official FCC Ham Radio Club, NJ2FU
  • Maker Faire: Presence in the Hackerspace area, Power Racing Series, Nerdy Derby, Biodiesel... with lots of coverage online
  • Rick’s FUBARino got released

Thanks again, and Happy New Year!
