Outside of The Times, Nick helped co-found NYCResistor, a hacker space in Brooklyn which offers hardware and programming classes and allows people to collectively work on innovative open source hardware and robotics projects. Nick also is also an Adjunct Professor at NYU / ITP teaching a class called 1, 2, 10, & ‘Sensors As Reporters’.
