A Show & Tell event would be perfect! I think a lot of people
would really like it.<br>
<br>
I still need to talk with Laura to see if something like this is in
keeping with Unit One. If so, I'd love to do it.<br>
<br>
I'll email Jonathan about possibly visiting FabLab, too.<br>
<br>
I'm hoping we can overflow everything! Let's attract lots more cool
people to MakerSpace!<br>

Hi, Mitch,<br>
<br>
Regular Open Hours at the MakerSpace normally overlap with your
Unit One Program<br>
Tuesday-Thursday from 7-9PM. We can arrange to have the Space
open at other times<br>
to accommodate your program. After our last General Membership
meeting, I was<br>
thinking that it would be good to have a member's "Show &
Tell" event. Like a micro-mini<br>
Maker Faire.<br>
<br>
During our last meeting, it was said that you should probably do
your workshop on<br>
Saturday, February 3rd and promote it at Unit One during the
week. That reminds me <br>
that I should probably reserve space upstairs in case it looks
like we'll overflow Studio 16<br>
(The MakerSpace).<br>
<br>
I can't speak for the FabLab -- Jonathan Manton might have ideas
about that.<br>
<br>
Cheers,<br>
<br>

Hi Stewart,<br>
<br>
I actually don't have anything in particular in mind. I just
wanted to see if it was a possibility. There are probably
people who will come to a session at Unit One who may not know
of either FabLab or MakerSpace, and everyone may benefit by more
motivated people coming to visit.<br>
<br>
Does anything come to mind for you?<br>
<br>
Thanks,<br>
Mitch.<br>

Hi, Mitch,<br>

When you say, "You think it might be cool for me to bring Unit
One people to MakerSpace, and/or also to the FabLab?" What
exactly do you have in mind? A tour of the MakerSpace?<br>
Some other kind of event?<br>
<br>

Hi Stewart,<br>
<br>
I have no idea what the schedule is like while I'm in Unit
One. I need to talk to Laura.<br>
<br>
But I will be in Urbana for a couple days before and a
couple days after Unit One. So, we could arrange for
something in the non-Unit-One days.<br>

Hi, Mitch,<br>

I assume that the time for a workshop or talk is during
the days Sun, Feb 26-Thurs, Mar 1,<br>
because you're pretty well committed to Unit One Allen
Hall in the evenings, correct?<br>

Hi Stewart,<br>
<br>
I'd love to do a workshop at MakerSpace Urbana. Maybe
my Arduino For Total Newbies workshop? That one is 3
hours long. I can teach up to 50 at once (if there are
50 soldering irons and 50 wire cutters). And it always
fills up. Teaching is free, materials are $35.<br>
<b> Itinerary for workshop:</b><br>
<ul>
* We will start by learning to solder. Don't let this
scare you! I've taught well over 33,500 people to
solder, many of whom have never made anything before
in their lives. It is actually a very easy skill to
learn. It is also very useful.<br>
* Very short lesson to learn everything you need to
know about electronics!<br>
* Then we will each make our own Arduino clone from a
kit made by Ladyada: <a moz-do-not-send="true"
href="http://www.adafruit.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=19&products_id=72"
target="_blank">BoArduino</a><br>
* Now that we each have our own Arduino, we will set
up the free and open-source software on our laptops
(if you bring one) -- Windows, MacOS, or Linux are all
fine!<br>
* And then its time to make something and learn how
easy it is to use Aruino! I'll (very easily!) show you
how to read schematic diagrams, and you'll put
together your own TV-B-Gone remote control using your
BoArduino. We will use a solderless breadboard. These
are really useful, and provide a fast, and very easy
way to put circuits together without needing to
solder.<br>
* Target practice!<br>
</ul>
Here's more info on it:<br>

href="http://www.tvbgone.com/downloads/tvbg_arduino/tvbg_arduino_workshop.htm">http://www.tvbgone.com/downloads/tvbg_arduino/tvbg_arduino_workshop.htm</a><br>
<br>
If 3 hours is too long for folks, then I could bring a
few different kits for people to choose from to make,
and I can do a "Learn to Solder, and Learn to Make Cool
Things" workshop. Teaching is free, kits are anywhere
between $10 and $30. Here's kits I can bring:<br>
<ul>
<li><i><b>TV-B-Gone</b></i> (turn off TVs in public
places!)</li>
<li><i><b>Brain Machine</b></i> (Meditate,
Hallucinate, and Trip Out!)</li>
<li><i><b>Mignonette Game</b></i> (play fun games!)</li>
<li><i><b>Trippy RGB Waves</b></i> (interactive blinky
lights!)</li>
<li><i><b>LEDcube</b></i> (animated 3D cube!)</li>
<li><i><b>MiniPOV</b></i> (more cool blinky lights!)</li>
<li><i><b>MintyBoost</b></i> (charge your USB enabled
gadgets!)</li>
<li><i><b>microcontroller programmers</b></i> (program
all your AVR family chips!)</li>
<li><i><b>Arduino clones</b></i> (make just about
anything!)</li>
</ul>
<br>
I can also give a talk, if folks are interested.<br>
<br>
I've been emailing with Jonathan Manton, who works with
UofI, and who seems to know MakerSpace folks. He said
he can scare up some soldering irons and wire cutters.
You have some too? You think I could borrow them for
Unit One people to use?<br>
<br>
You think it might be cool for me to bring Unit One
people to MakerSpace, and/or also to the FabLab?<br>
<br>
I'm excited to be there!<br>
<br>
Cheers,<br>
Mitch.<br>

I'm going to be a Unit One resident at the
