Lisa Brahms, the director of learning and research, at the Makeshop, a children's Makerspace, located in the Pittsburgh Children's Museum, will be visiting Omaha November 26th and 27th. I'm not sure what the schedule is like at the space, as I have yet to find time to get back down there, but would there be any interest in having her come and speak, or give a presentation?
She was recently a keynote speaker at the Worlds MakerFaire in NYC. Here is a recent interview with her from Make magazine.

If there is some interest I will pull some strings and try to get her out.

Subject: [OMG] Whiteboard dimensions?
Does anyone know the dimensions of the large whiteboard at the space?
Also, I'm looking for ideas for mounting an X-Y table around it.
I'm thinking aluminum extrusion, maybe Maker Slide or something equivalent. Two long rails mounted above and below on stand-offs about 5cm from the wall would form the Y axis. On those would run a T- or I-shaped X axis rail. The tool head would have an array of Expo Click whiteboard markers.
The machine would take gcode served from a computer. The computer would accept vector files, SVG, maybe DXF. These would be sent to the computer via a web service, which would be accessed via any of a variety of interfaces (for example, visitors to the web page could use an on-page virtual whiteboard drawing tool which would then send the file to the real whiteboard, to allow remote interaction).

She's a colleague of mine and is coming into town for a meeting with me before we begin building our Makerspace at the Children's Museum.

Is she speaking somewhere else in Omaha meant for actual little kids? googling Lisa Brahms Omaha did not really find anything but this conversation.

If the Tuesday-evening meeting does not fit within her schedule, perhaps we
could have a special presentation at the space on the 26th instead? I
reckon there are enough of us that are interested in meeting her and
hearing what she has to say that we could provide a decent audience for her.

It sounds like Lisa may be available to do a presentation on the 26th in the evening. I should know for sure within the next few days, and will let you know as soon as I am certain of anything.
