FabLab Onaki

Arduino and other workshops in progress at the new makerspace.

I talked this up a bit in the online and Doug showed interest. Looks like we’re going to be doing a lot of fun stuff!

Here are some pictures from today!

Sunday Meetup Pictures

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.

Picnic and Space Program

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…

OCTG – Ottawa Creative Thinking Group

Wow what a fun meetup last night!

I was hoping some people would come for our regular show and tell and activities.

I did a presentation on Social Network Theory and Computational Sociology. I also showed my pendant project. Lots of amazing ideas came forward!

We really need to get out to this group again!

Picnic Pics

We had perfect weather yesterday. Ice cream cones and some running around in the park!

This park thing is really working out! There was even talk of doing this on some of the Wednesdays!

Box

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?

Last Sunday Meetup

Here are the pics from last Sunday!

Lakota is working on her locomotion robot project. Walter and I are working on a game based on movement that will use Arduino and accelerometers. We had other guests too!

Elgin

So back in the old days when we were running the Blink meetups Doug had this kit he made to introduce soldering and Arduino.

There was this one young lady who came and she was a bit reluctant to do the hands-on activity thinking it was too hard. Her name was Elgin. Doug and I insisted it was easy and she had a go at it.

She was ecstatic when the lights came on.

I came across her online yesterday.

She leads soldering and arduino type workshops in BC now and is a Masters Student in the School of Interactive Arts & Technology (SFU Vancouver).

Here’s a drawing robot she made.

I think it’s clear there is a great value in these walk-up activities!

Thanks Doug!
