[Makerspace-keymembers] Fwd: DFA Make-a-thon Coordinating Meeting

[Emily Knox]

Info for the Make-a-Thon.  Any dates that might work?  March/April are
terrible for me so I probably won't be able to make it.

Emily,

Is there any days in late March and Early April that work well for
Makerspace Urbana? Also do you all have any input into how your
organization would like to be involved? For example are there any cool
workshops that you would like to give during the duration of the event?
What are your thought on the IMC as a venue? Would Makerspace have the
right fabrication tools? If you have other things you want to talk about do
let me know. I can also bring this up with Cameron and Jeff Ginger.

Regards,
Zonghe
