i have spare arduino, a ton of blank business cards sheets, i can
accept credit cards through tagdaplanet.com if that helps..., also i
can arrange pretty large marble slabs, they're pretty awesome for
soldiering or cutting stuff. only weigh like 30-40 pounds. hey
anyone remember those solar jars we never got around to finishing??
we could totally do that. assuming ellis is still cool with
donating them<br>

<p>I have a couple of those sturdy plastic folding tables.
Probably not good for soldering, but otherwise real good for
this sort of thing. I can probably get an Astros van for
transportation.</p>
<p>From what I've heard of makerbots at events like this, they
draw a crowd. It may be good to have a couple around to give a
bit more space for a crowd to see.</p>

Tony, that'd be awesome! You are totally invited to
be there and share 3D scanning and printing. I was
actually thinking about poking Dave to see if he
could bring his MakerBot out, but it sounds like we
can skip that.<br>
<br>
I'm sure 3D stuff would be a great hit and I'll be
first in line to donate my head for science! ...
well, to get it scanned anyway... You can only keep
the copy.<br>
<br>
I don't know about the indoor or outdoor component.
The Agri-Plex has options for both I think, but I'd
expect indoors since we're requesting power. I'll
double check with Karen who is listed as the
contact.<br>

Hey, I tried to get MakerBot to be a
sponsor, but it kind of fell through.
However, I'd like to personally bring my
MakerBot if you guys have room? Perhaps I
could show 3D scanning people using a Kinect
(is it indoors? I know the kinect has
trouble with sunlight). See: <a

MakeLV @ the Science Festival is
looking really good.<br>
<br>
<i>If you would like to be involved,
there are a few opportunities
below.</i><br>
<br>
This will be a great chance to
become visible in the community.
This Thursday (tomorrow) we will
have a mock-up of the booth.<br>
<br>
<b>What we have: </b>
<ul>
<li>booth space that can fit an 8'
table. Dimensions are uncertain.<br>
</li>
<li>A blinky Hive4a sign (Thanks
Jim!)<br>
</li>
<li>Plans to teach soldering
(Using the MakerShed kit, Thank
Jim & Tom!)<br>
</li>
<li>Passing out information on
soldering </li>
<li>A few people to man the booth</li>
<li>Tables and power</li>
<li>Camera to show soldering in
the background</li>
<li>Setup ED (<a

This states that we have an 8-foot
table, 2 chairs and a booth with
three sides. Matthew is getting
two booths and this space he is
sharing with us. I have some
fold-up tables that could be
contributed to the purpose. We
should have electricity and
Internet access (I believe we
asked for that.)<br>
</p>
<p><b>What we need </b><i>(if you
can help with one of these,
please let us know)</i><b>:</b></p>
<ul>
<li>More small demos to put around
and show what's going on. (see
Project Ideas below)</li>
<li>More people to hang around the
table for an hour or longer
between 10am and 4pm.</li>
<li>A system to schedule people to
get in on the soldering
tutorial.</li>
<li>A method of taking payments
for the soldering tutorial.<br>
</li>
<li>A card or something small with
our website on it to give people
who come by. (Dan's Camera?)<br>
</li>
<li>Equipment check - make sure we
have everything to safely teach
soldering classes.</li>
</ul>
<b>Project Ideas</b><br>
If you would like to create a simple
interactive something, but don't
have any ideas, here are some I
don't expect to have time to
implement...<br>
<ul>
<li>Fiber Optics: I have a sturdy
fiber optic cable that visibly
passes light, some strong
colorful LEDs setup to shine
color through or a small color
screen that folks could hold one
end of the fiber up to then see
it come out the other would show
off fiber tech.</li>
<li>Conductivity: A simple circuit
to trigger a light with a
variety of materials to test for
conductivity. Will it light if I
put a feather, a spoon, wood,
rubber and other things in the
circuit.</li>
<li>I have code for an Arduino and
a number pad from an electronic
battleship game that makes lots
of tunes on a piezo. I don't
have an Arduino that is free at
the moment. I also don't have a
sturdy enough case to put this
on display.</li>
<li>Resistor Demo: A simple
circuit that would enable people
to swap out resistors in one
place to see how it impacted the
brightness of an LED <br>
</li>
<li>Lemon Battery</li>
<li>Home-made Electro magnet</li>
<li>Photoresistor: A simple
circuit to light up an LED
according to how much resistance
a photoresistor provides - maybe
one of the 555 circuits that we
did earlier could be adapted to
this to be even a bit more
advanced.</li>
<li>Solar Power: Something based
on solar power could hit a
trending interest. This could be
as easy as having one of the
solar lights in the space torn
apart and laid out with some
labels to explain how it works.</li>
<li>
Your Idea: If you have something
that hits your fancy, I'm all
for it.</li>
<li>Astronomy: (Chris Callie?)</li>
<li>Chemistry:</li>
</ul>

<div><b>People to Attend the Booth</b><br>
<div style="margin-left:40px">
I'm shamelessly stealing this
from Ellis' earlier email... The
event is on April 14th (10a-4p).<br>
<br>
Please respond if you can commit
to being there. We will need 3+
people there at a time so we can
also rotate wandering around the
event itself. If you wish to
volunteer for a shift, please
specify one of the following
(1/2 hour extra for setup and
take down):</div>
