[Makerspace-keymembers] Fwd: Two University Projects for Makerspace Urbana Pros

Tue Mar 4 17:33:43 UTC 2014

Hi, Jamie,

I am (probably) the remaining original co-founder of the Makerspace Urbana.
I do a weekly radio show called TechKnowLedge Thursday mornings from 8 to 9
on WRFU-LP 104.5 FM
So, I try to keep up with the Maker/HackerSpace movement.

Shoot me questions and I'll try to answer.  The Space is open tonight
(Py-CU<https://www.facebook.com/groups/115113665332255/>Hack Night)
and tomorrow
from 7-9PM.   I could meet you there for a tour.

Cheers,

Stewart, http://tech-knowledge.tumblr.com
