A couple weeks back, we hosted a super fun lecture with the Brooklyn Historical Society with Ben Feldman, a local historian who happens to be an awesome storyteller.
In case you missed that one, we have more events lined up with Ben and BHS later this summer. Come to one, or geek out and attend all of them! Your ticket purchase on August 3 + 10 also gets you a free Brooklyn Brewery beer!
For tickets and ...

Tuesday: Our early class on Tuesday is Intro to Urban Forestry, and although you alrea...

Thanks to everyone who applied, we really appreciate it!

We've been super busy with a million classes, and even though we lost our camera charger for awhile, we managed to rustle up some photos from the past few weeks.
To wrap up our Data Viz class, we held a show and tell for people to demo their projects. Although there was much discussion of Chernoff Faces and pivot tables, Soma went low-tech with a drawing of the Brainery's activities over the past year or...
