The Hardware Meetup community is excited to announce the 117th NY Hardware Meetup at Cornell Tech, exploring the theme: Assistive Tech. Speakers coming soon!
Hardware Meetups happen across 30+ cities around the world, bringing together hardware professionals to network & learn from each other. You might not realize it, but NYC is a hotbed for this kind of innovation & tonight you'll meet two companies working at the cutting edge of this technology.
This May we'll be at Cornell Tech. ALL ATTENDEES MUST BRING A PHOTO ID to get admittance. Cornell Tech is Cornell University's state-of-the-art campus in New York City that develops leaders & technologies for the AI era through foundational & applied research, graduate education, & new ventures. Located on Roosevelt Island, the growing campus was founded in partnership with the Technion-Israel Institute of Technology & in close collaboration with the NYC Economic Development Corporation after Cornell won a worldwide competition initiated by Mayor Michael R. Bloomberg's administration to create an applied sciences campus in New York City. More than 1,000 Cornell students are now educated annually on the campus, including 700 in Cornell Tech programs. Since opening in 2012, nearly 120 new companies have spun out from startup programs at Cornell Tech, & 95 percent of them are based in New York City. Cornell Tech continues to have a transformative economic impact on the region's tech sector.

Welcome Remarks
Niti Parikh is the founding director of Cornell Tech's academic MakerLAB. A designer & maker with over 15 years of experience in interior architecture & sustainable manufacturing, she leads community engaged initiatives such as Craft at Large & Make Health. Her work focuses on creating learning environments where people of all ages & abilities can bring ideas to life through digital modeling & fabrication.
Thijs Roumen is an assistant professor of information science at Cornell Tech & the Cornell Ann S. Bowers College of Computing & Information Science. He also directs the Matter of Tech lab at Cornell Tech. His lab focuses on digital fabrication, a subfield of technical human-computer interaction (HCI). The lab's goal is to enable personal fabrication, e.g., making digital fabrication relevant to everyone, as opposed to industrialists & hobbyists currently using fabrication machines. Besides fabrication, the lab is interested in accessibility, primarily focusing on speech accessibility.
