<div dir="ltr">Oh that's awesome, thanks Lisa! And I like the idea of the makerspace representing. <br><br>I have a thought that includes led's and 3Dprinting.<div><br></div><div>So you can use a computer fan as a little wind turbine to power led's pretty easily. See here: <a href="http://youtu.be/o13MSASAaTI?t=40s">http://youtu.be/o13MSASAaTI?t=40s</a></div>
<div><br></div><div>But what if instead of using normal fan blades you 3D printed a vertical fan blade like this <a href="http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1689">http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1689</a> so that it could harness wind from any direction. </div>
<div><br></div><div>And then if you attached the 3D printed blade to the side of the fan motor that has the electrical hook up you could mount led's directly to the fan blades and probably make nice little art piece. It would be a little 'recycled computer fan 3D printed bike light thing'. Ok it needs a better name :-) but you probably get the point. </div>

Tandem organizers are looking for submissions for their exhibit/fundraiser! I spoke with them and they are happy to accept any/all forms of artwork including sculptural type pieces, applications are due by July 26th. I feel like Makerspace could represent with something 3-d printed, LED lit, reconstructed, knitted, sewn, painted, etc. RFID bike lock?! Maybe not "art," but a cool idea.<br>

<span style="vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap;font-family:Arial">This shop aims to make the local cycling community richer in three key ways: 1) by serving as a resource for cyclists who live in or ride through the area; 2) by connecting with other community-based groups to further opportunities for area youth to access bike-related resources and knowledge; and by 3) increasing the race and class diversity within the local cycling population. Last year <span style="background-color:rgb(255,255,204)">Tandem</span> raised $500 for this cause, and we’d love to see that number grow this year.</span></p>
