Hey all,

Bloominglabs is conducting soldering workshops Feb 21 and 28. Session I is
basic techniques, session II is SMT. You can attend either or both,
depending on your skills and interest. We'll have some TV-B-Gone and other
kits there, too. Contact us at contact at bloominglabs.org to reserve a spot.
Also please spread the word to anyone you think might be interested.

Many thanks,
Steve

Paul Swanson from Harmony School has contacted us about helping high school
students build theramins as part of his class curriculum. It's four 1 hour
and 45 minute class during Thursday afternoons in March. Bloominglabs is
certainly able to provide soldering irons, and other tools we have
available, but would anyone be willing to donate some of their time? If so,
please drop me and Paul a note. You can find information about the exact
dates and time and the kits he is planning on building. Any other questions
should be directed at Paul.

I think this sounds like a lot of fun, and I know I'll be volunteer for at
least one (if not all)
of these classes.

Jenett

Jenett,****

I bought two Jaycar theremin kits, as described at
http://www1.jaycar.com.au/productView.asp?ID=KC5295****

I don?t know a whole lot about these specific kit models, but from what I
could glean it seemed that assembly and some soldering is required.****

Let me know if you have any other questions.**

Thanks for contacting us about your project! Blooominglabs is very
supportive of getting kids involved with making things and I'm sure our
members would love to be involved. I'll send this message along to our
members. It would be helpful to know what's involved in the kits. What
theramin kit did you buy?****

Hello,****

 ****

I met one of your members, I believe his name was Nick (works up at the
Cyclotron), at the Winter Market on Saturday.  He told me a little bit
about what you all do out at Bloominglabs, and it sounds very exciting.
I?m a high school teacher at Harmony School, and this year for
Science/Tech/Math month (March) I?m going to be leading a class to build
two kit theramins.  I am a musician and a big nerd, so I?m very excited
about the idea, but I don?t have much of a background in electronics (or
any background in it).  Nick suggested that this might be the sort of
project that Bloominglabs would be interested in, and that he?d bring it up
at your next meeting.  Very exciting!****

 ****

The class would run for 4 Thursday afternoons in March: the 1st, 8th, 22nd,
and 29th.  The class is from 1-2:45 pm.  If we wanted, I could probably
even drive a school van out to your facility (if that would make things
easier).  Then on Friday, March 30th, we?ll be having our actual
Science/Tech exposition where we would get to show off our theramins and
let visitors play with them a bit.****

 ****

Let me know if anyone in your group would be interested.  It?s going to be
fun!****

Tomorrow we will have our public meeting at 7pm at Bloominglabs. Lots going
on at the space now - too much to list. Bring your projects, your ideas,
and your energies and join us!

At 6:30pm, I will be at the space to hold a business meeting for members to
talk about a few things:

1.) The upcoming soldering workshops and making sure we are ready for them.
I got a receipt book to go along with the new credit card machine and
hopefully the info about collecting sales tax is in the mailbox waiting for
us. I also hope to have a tax calculator and some guidelines written up
about charging the credit card fees back to the person. We should also talk
about how to control our inventory. Do we need to lock up our merchandise?
Should we setup an RFID lock for that?
2.) Treasurer's report (hoping to have our taxes done by tomorrow)
3.) Plans for doing some work around the space (fixing up the wiring,
getting all the outlets to work, hanging up the peg board, building
shelves, general organization of stuff, painting)
4.) Plans for upcoming events (bugbots at wonderlabs summer school, harmony
school theramin building, nominees from Bloominglabs for Makers TV show)

If you are interested in any of these subjects and are a member, please
come by at 6:30pm. Otherwise, we'll see everyone at 7pm!

All,

We are having our usual public meeting tonight at 7pm at the space. Please
drop in if you have the time and inclination to do so!

Also, I wanted to mention we have openings for both sessions of the
soldering workshop. Part I is next Tues 6:30pm-9pm and Part II is Feb 28
(the following Tues) at the same time. You'll get to make a kit to take
home in both workshops, and you can sign up for either part or both as your
interest and skill level and so forth goes.

We're experimenting with being a re-seller for adafruit, so we'll have a
limited supply of TV-B-Gones and a couple other kits for those interested
(for additional cost). We will also have these available for purchase at
meetings in the future. Not tonight though, we haven't got the shipment yet.

More info on the workshops:

Thanks and see you there,

I've been wanting to have a gaming day at the space for a while now. After
talking to a couple of people, Saturday, March 31 seems like a good day. I
was thinking of starting at noon and going until we're done. We could play
board games, video games, maybe get a arcade console to show up, or typing
of the dead.

What do people think?
