There's no charge, all ages welcome (children must be accompanied by a guardian). Tomorrow afternoon is another chance to find out what Bloominglabs is about, but also to see what Startups in the area are doing, and get a chance to mix it up and meet people interested in technology and entrepreneurship. It's Verge Night Bloomington at 5:30 pm Thursday at SproutBox, and I'll be there doing a 'fireside chat' about Bloominglabs. More info at the link below: http://vergestartups.com/events/verge-bloomingtons-august-event/ Thanks, Steve -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Come show off your stuff! Message-ID: Hi everyone! Makevention is coming soon, and we're still working on ideas for the Bloominglabs area. We get 1000 sq ft of Makevention space, and we want to fill it with Bloominglabs members and activities! What we have so far is on the wiki: http://www.bloominglabs.org/index.php/BloominglabsBooth (also linked from the Makevention wiki page). If you have any ideas for how you could help out at makevention, you can either keep track of them on this page or you can email me about them. Current thoughts on this are that we can have a pool of volunteers in the area running multiple booths simultaneously, depending on what people seem interested in or when the booths are getting attention. That way we don't have too many volunteers manning booths with no visitors at them. If you are interested in volunteering, let us know! We are also looking for booth ideas from you! Do you have anything you have built that you'd like to show off? Do you have anything you can teach others in a short time frame to give them a little taste of hacker/maker life at Bloominglabs? Let us know about them! Was that enough exclamation points? Austin -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

He is currently looking into getting funding to do a neat little cigar box guitar building workshop with his students and expressed interest in finding some other people who might want to help him with this. Anyone interested should shoot me a message! I think he might need help figuring out how best to find the materials for such a project, and maybe someone who would be willing to come to the school and help teach the kids how to make them. He's still working out all of the details for the grant, so it's early in the process and might not be for a while. Let me know!

Did you bring your coat? Message-ID: Heya Bloominglabs folks and affiliates, Makevention is this Saturday, so make sure it's on your calendars! Also, please take a look at the list of Bloominglabs-related activities / booths for makevention, and correct it or relate your corrections to me if you see anything wrong or missing there. http://www.bloominglabs.org/index.php/BloominglabsBooth The latest I heard about how we're handling our own volunteers to run our 1000 sq ft section of the space is that whoever is there and willing to help out will be in a (metaphorical) pool of Bloominglabs volunteers, and when people are interested in certain booths we can jump up and show them how it's done. Much like how Wednesday night meetings go except that this time there will be a lot more new people :) Austin (I live in a giant bucket) -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Message-ID: Hey Makers, My name is Ryan Chun. I?m working with a company in the San Francisco Bay Area called MadeSolid, Inc. Our Company spun out of a Makerspace very similar to Bloominglabs called Ace Monster Toys in Oakland, California. After becoming frustrated with the quality coming out of FDM printers, we spend the last year developing high quality resin to work with SLA printers and 405nm UV Lasers. I was curious if anyone at Bloominglabs has been working on a Resin Printer, or if anyone in general is interested in working with resin? We thought those Makers might be interested in taking our resin out for a spin. You can find out more info about us and our resin on our website. Shoot me an email if you are interested. We have a limited supply, so I want to make sure you guys are taken care of. Cheers!
