Hopefully some of the Bloominglabs members (and interested others!) can help out with this great event! This Saturday, Oct 8, is the Celebrate Science event at the South Pavilion of the Indianapolis Fairgrounds. It's an event to get kids (and adults) excited about science and giving them ideas for doing science at home. You can find out more about this event at http://www.celebratescienceindiana.org/. My group at IU, the Pervasive Technology Institute, has a booth and we'll be doing: light bending with water and acrylic tubes (to show how optical networks work) password cracking with a simple "home built" computer cluster programming lego mindstorm robots scratch programming The event is from 8am to 5pm and we are looking for people to come and help us out in the booth. Even if you can just come for an hour (or two!) that would be great. If you can help out, please drop Kurt Seiffert a note at seiffert at iu.edu(and CC me if you would) and give us an idea of when you can be there. And if you come, feel free to wear a Bloominglabs shirt and do a little advertising for our hackerspace.
