A community of designers, engineers and artists.
This week I demonstrated how to make business cards using Inkscape on the laser cutter. Also how to make printmaking plates using the laser. We then tried printmaking using some of my existing plates. Up next participants will make their own business cards, other cards or art. Should be interesting to see what comes forward.
We had another of our outdoor meetups today.
A new project has emerged. Several of us are making carts! So far there is Lakota, Doug, Eric and Darcy that all have some prototypes of electric carts.
This will become programming at the makerfaires and some schools.

We made some progress on the space program thanks to Steve (of rimstar.org). He made a complete apparatus for electrolysis. We learned a lot from it and it will affect our next steps.
I also flew my magnus glider but I’ve not got any pictures on that yet…
At tonight’s meetup we had fun with Doug’s propeller powered cart plus some other drone and glider activities.
We also discussed the new “box” project. The idea is that people can subscribe to this “box” and then receive a box of parts on a regular basis. People could have fun with the kits and other contents and share ideas with others about how to use the components…
What do you think? What to call the program?
