I got them at the price break of $35 like the webpage used to offer. Simply send me an e-mail letting me know who wants them and you can get them through me at $35 instead of the full price of $50.

I'm out of town those days, but I told him I'd hit up Bloominglabs to see if anyone was interested. It's open as to what you would do with the kids. My colleague has several Lego Mindstorms that could be used if you'd like, or you're welcome to come up with your own project. Also, he can help pay for travel expenses as well. Feel free to contact him directly about this. His name is Kurt Seiffert and his email is seiffert at iu.edu. Thanks in advance!

No license? No problem, we have a station setup with someone to walk you through the steps and be the control operator. Operations begin at 14:00 on Saturday through about 16:00 Sunday (yes, we tend to operate all night) Feel free to shoot me any questions, and I hope to see some of you stop by! -Corey ---------- Forwarded message ---------- Spread the word in your neighborhood, at church, at work. Bring family and friends and spend some time on June 25-26 at Flatwoods Park, just northwest of Ellettsville off IN 46. Amateur Radio hams will be control operators, offering visitors opportunities to try HF phone, CW and PSK-31, VHF and UHF simplex, and satelite communications, as well as a separate GOTA (Get On The Air) HF phone station specifically dedicated to those without an Amateur license and? hams who have been inactive. Operation will be continuous for 24 hours beginning at 2:00 pm Saturday and closing down at 2:00 pm Sunday. Members of Bloomington Amateur Radio Club, K9IU Amateur Radio Club at Indiana University and Bloomington HS South Amateur Radio Club will begin erecting antennas for the VHF/UHF and three HF stations at 6:30 pm, Friday, June 4. Set-up will continue early Saturday morning with a noon lunch break provided by the Emergency Services staff and volunteers of the Monroe County Red Cross at noon. Dinner is sponsored Saturday by Pizza X and breakfast Sunday by BARC. After a day of operating and dinner on Saturday, Corey, KB9JHU?, A.J., KC9EVU.?and Dwight, WB9TLH,?will be demonstrating a new technology, Digital Smart Technologies for Amateur Radio (D-Star), which is quickly becoming the future of Amateur Radio.? It provides amateurs the ability to send their voice and data simultaneousness over the air, along with the ability to use the internet or microwave links to send data from repeater to repeater. D-Star is an open standard for digital voice and data, uses less bandwidth than traditional amateur radio modes, and provides better clarity with weaker signals. Included will be several applications for use with EmComm events and everyday D-Star uses.? They will also discuss the new D-Star repeater to the Bloomington area, and how you can start using the new D-Star repeater. D-Star :: 7:00-8:00 PM, Saturday, June 25 :: KB9JHU, Corey Shields ?? KB9EVU, AJ Ragusa ?? WB9TLH, Dwight Hazen, trustee of WB9TLH, K9IU repeater systems, among others In addition, Monroe County ARES-RACES Group will conduct four emergency communications-related forums throughout the event. ????????????????

This is a chance for you to show off what you've done (or are in the process of doing), promote your hackerspace, and talk to thousands of interested people. It's free to exhibit and do giveaways, and the vendor's fee is only $100. If you want to do a workshop but have to charge to pay for materials, let us know and we'll see what we can do. We're interested in projects in process as well as completed ones. The first Indy Mini Maker Faire is Sept. 17-18, 2011, at Conner Prairie Interactive History Park during their annual Country Fair. You and anyone traveling with you to the Faire as an exhibitor will get free admission to the Indy Mini Maker Faire while you exhibit. Last year Country Fair had about 8,000 visitors, so we're hoping for a lot of exposure! You can find out more details and apply at our website: http://makerfaireindy.org We ask for a commitment deposit (only kept if you're accepted and don't show), but we know funds are tight for a lot of you so drop us a line if you need to work something out. We've extended the deadline past June 30, 2011, but spaces are limited so please apply soon! Even if you can't make it, we'd really appreciate you forwarding this e-mail to anyone you think might be interested in exhibiting. We're especially interested in: hands-on activities, robots, Green Tech, whimsical technical creations, Steampunk, musicians, student projects, and science and technology education. Questions?
