We’re excited to join Sidewalk Labs for the kick-off of their first “Open Sidewalk”, a monthly event series designed for people of all ages and abilities that will feature prototypes, performances, workshops, and other activities. Once an old fish processing plant, 307 has been transformed into an experimental work space and will be open every weekend to the public.
