[Imc-makerspace] Fwd: Teen tech week

[Chris Ritzo]

Would anyone be interested in doing a brief presentation on makerspace
projects at the Urbana Free Library? Joel is seeking a broader
collaboration long term, but wondered if members would be able to come
present about the Makerspace. Good opportunity to promote makerfaire too.

  Hello Chris,

I'm bouncing ideas around for teen tech week (March 4-10), with the IMC in
mind. I'm wondering if a good introduction for our teens to the IMC would
be if some of the maker space folks came to the library and demo'd some of
the project kits that we discussed. We could just take an hour or so to
talk about what the maker space is, why the kits were developed, etc.
Alternately, I could just bring a small group of teens over to see the
maker space and the radio station, etc. as we originally discussed. Please
let me know if any of these ideas would work, or if there was something
else that made more sense from your end.

Incidentally, after our meeting last week I was approached by the library
director to discuss the library's future in terms of partnership and
community building, and it seems that we may have good support for our
initiative. Just wanted to let you know. Thanks, Chris- talk with you
soon-Joel
