UF Grad Student Builds Components for Balance Research Tools at Hackerspace!
Lauren Hanchar, a biomedical engineering grad student at UF, was looking for off-campus woodworking options when she discovered Gainesville Hackerspace. She came by during our Open House and, with guidance from woodworking instructor Pete Murray, got to work cutting custom wood blocks for a cutting-edge research project.

Her project—“Intermittent Visual Perturbations to Enhance Balance Training”—is part of the UF Human Neuromechanics Lab. It explores how visual disruptions (through special goggles) might improve balance while walking on a beam.

“I had a great time at Gainesville Hackerspace. Everyone was super friendly and helpful. I loved the creative and collaborative vibe.”

Stay tuned for a look at the final blocks in action!

Hackers!

With the resurgence of Covid with the Delta variant, some members have expressed concern about meeting in person.

In order to still provide a meeting space for members to talk and collaborate, I will again be activating the 7pm Tuesdays Zoom meeting we had used during the Covid Lockdown. This meeting will be separate from the in-person meetings, unless someone at the 6th street location also joins the virtual meeting. Please come by, either virtually or in person and ask us questions, and show us what you've been working on.

The meeting link can still be found on the main page of the Gainesville Hackerspace website at https://www.gainesvillehackerspace.org/.
