Students and Space Hacker Workshop

There is still room to attend the Space Hacker Workshop, May 4-5, at the Hacker Dojo, in Mountain View.  Registration is at:  http://spacehacker.eventbrite.com.

IF YOU ARE A STUDENT, you can enter the promotional code "studentinspace" and get a 50% discount.  HOWEVER, you must be prepared to show your current valid student ID card when you show up.

The early bird discount is no longer in effect.  Until May 1, the registration fee is $125 + $7.87 processing fee.  For students, this means the current rate for the two days is something like $66.93.  (It didn't just divide by 2.  There must be a base credit card fee.)  This includes coffee, snacks, and lunch on both days.
