Dear –FNAME–,

Finally! A break in the arctic temperatures is here! We are enjoying balmy days in the 30’s here in Downtown Nashua. The team at Nashua Public Works has been hard at work having removed the majority of the snow from Main Street sidewalks and parking areas- leaving parking spaces here in Downtown wonderfully accessible. 

I don’t know about you, but with the polar vortex holding us captive in our homes – the cabin fever is starting to set in. The great news is, Downtown Nashua has the cure for what ails you – with lots of great things to do to get you up out of the house! 

We hope you have a great week! 

-Paul

ICYMI: We’ve accomplished a lot together over the past year, and we are very excited to feature some of the images that you’ve captured of all the great things Downtown Nashua has to offer. As you settle in for a snow day, check out our 2017 retrospective here. If you are excited about an even better 2018 ahead, share this video with your friends along with your hopes for the year ahead.

Build a Bot Class
@ MakeIt Labs!

7-8:30pm
In this short class, you’ll build the 2020 Bot – a simple Arduino controlled robot. The class will concentrate on assembling the 2020 Bot kit, leaving lectures on robot theory and programming for another day.
Your 2020 Bot kit comes pre-programmed with demo code for remote control and autonomous obstacle avoidance modes. The 2020 Bot Arduino library and examples are open source. Since the controller of the 2020 Bot is a standard Arduino Nano, there are plenty of resources available to learn about programming and electronics.
No soldering required! The class will use jumper wires, breadboard, and pre-wired motors.
