About this Event
The Rockford Dev February Meetup is just around the corner! The month's event will take place on Wednesday, Februaru 18th, 2026 at 6:00 PM at Maker Lab in the Rockford Public Library.
This month’s meetup is a little different—in the best way.
We’ll be diving into a fascinating talk that sits at the crossroads of programming, robotics, and the mathematics of knitting. The video explores how code can drive physical machines, how abstract algorithms become tangible objects, and how surprisingly deep math and computer science show up in textile fabrication.
Before the meetup, we encourage everyone to watch the On-Demand Machine Knitting for Everyone video (
) and come ready to think beyond traditional software boundaries. We’ll discuss domain-specific languages, hardware constraints, compiler-like pipelines, and what it really means to “debug” when your output is a physical object.If you’re curious about software that interacts with the real world—or just want your brain pleasantly bent by an unexpected application of engineering—this will be a fun, thought-provoking, and highly engaging conversation. 🧶🤖💻
