| There aren't many housing situations
at Brown that can offer a fully-furnished pick-up truck
bed with built-in benches and table, a virtual terminal
in the kitchen for the server, or a trebuchet (a wacky
siege engine). And we're pretty sure that if you searched
the world over, you wouldn't find many places where students
with as disparate interests as art, monkeys, and engineering
can live in harmony. Fortunately, there is at least one
such place.
Welcome to Technology House. Eight years
ago two Brown undergrads founded Tech House on the principle
that students who are enthusiastic about science and
technology ought to have a home for themselves at Brown.
Over time, Tech House has evolved from being a haven
for a handful of hackers to a dynamic house with members
whose interests run the full range of the academic and
extracurricular spectra.
Contrary to popular belief, Tech House
is home to many people who aren't CS and engineering
concentrators. Our members study biology, political
science, religious studies and history. Our projects,
the focal point of the Tech House experience, reflect
this variety. Recent projects include a Macquarium,
a Pyrophone, a MAME (Multi-Arcade Machine Emulator)
Cabinet, and our very own Techhouse Signal (nicknamed
the THignal). We provide money, support, guidance, and
manpower for the ideas that our members come up with,
and there are no schemes too wild for consideration
(as we've proven to ourselves time and time again).

we'll get back
