Dr. Susan has an excitement and curiosity for technology that is irresistible. A lifelong technologist she fully embraces hardware tinkering and the maker culture. Touring through their workspace you could see that passion on display throughout.

Every Thursday from 4:30 pm - 8:30 pm they hold Open Workshop and invite the public in to share in their technological explorations. Mike and Jon from the Stacks+Joules crew will be in the house this Thursday - so if you are in the Boston area and have a penchant for making come on down!
