This Week in the Education Department
Updates :: Newsletter :: Outreach Events :: New Classes
HELLO! It's been a while since I put out an update ( since week 26 ), and there's a lot going on in the Education department in the fourth quarter.
First off, I'd like to say a huge thank you to all our hackerspace members for keeping the classroom clean, neat, and tidy. In fact, the whole hackerspace has been getting cleaner and more organized over the last few weeks, and it feels great.
Our first Education in-print newsletter will be going out Mid-November, and will be a quarterly publication. We will be making and distributing future copies in Jan/Apr/Jul/Oct in the year to come.
The newsletter will contain a short description of the hackerspace, some of the projects our members have been up to ( as well as ads for products made in the hackerspace ), as well as a listing of classes and upcoming events in that quarter's calendar.
Part of the events we will be doing are Education Outreach to the nearby community. Things like "maker days" where we bring some of our tools and equipment on tour for a weekend to libraries, schools, and places like the Thinkery, Flipside Warehouse, and Pump Project.
If you want to schedule a free or material-only charge event or class in the classroom, get in touch with me ( de...@atxhs.org ) and we'll get you on the calendar. I do need to review and approve the material before scheduling you in.
If you would like to host an event or class for profit, we charge $35/hr for "prime time" usage of the space ( M-F 5pm-9pm, all Sat and Sun ) and $25/hr for all other times. Again, these classes are subject to approval before being scheduled.

I have integrated our setmore.com account with Google Calendar. The integration only updates once every few hours, so for the absolute up-to-date info, make sure to head to the main setmore site. It will show times when the classroom is booked, as well as a general schedule of classes. The calendar is on the wiki here.
