Any college students / hobby electronists with time?

Looking for hobby electronists and college students for a personal build / project.

I've come across recently a wall-mounted board with individually addressable LEDs laid out to match the city's subway and train maps, where each LED lights up in real time to show exactly where trains are on the network right now. Data pulled live from the actual live published transit authority data feed. It's basically a living, glowing transit map you can hang on your wall. There already exists something similar already, and I'm hoping to improve upon it, obviously. If this goes well, I'd like to make a couple of units and gift it to friends.

What's in it for you? Obviously - I'd pay for all the resources used. I'd support interesting experiments, and love to see where we can take this creatively. We can also come to an agreement on what your time spent on this as well. I have a few more ideas around scaling/coordinating this (batch PCB orders, splitting Pi flashing/config work, etc.) but for anything around cost breakdowns, timelines, or actually coordinating a build group — best to DM me directly.

Anyone know / have hobby electronics meet-ups?

Anyone wanna join for Vasa Museum today between 1400-1630?

Hi everyone! :)

I'm (M31) visiting from Berlin for the Linkin Park concert. Before my flight this evening, I'm really looking forward to covering the Vasa Museum. It's a museum for well-preserved, 17th-century warship, Vasa, that sank on her maiden voyage in 1628.

Would anyone be interested in joining? Age, gender, etc doesn't matter. Ideally this is your first time at Vasa as well! If time permits, I'd love to grab a fika before heading to the airport. :)
