Hi all,
This is the June newsletter. If you aren't subscribed, you might want to consider it. Of special note, our regularly scheduled July 1 open house and associate time has been moved to June 28 to avoid the holiday. Sorry for any inconvenience! Also, there are lots of exciting courses and events scheduled!
Hey Makers!
This is your reminder that tomorrow is the 3rd Tuesday of the month and therefore we will be having our Member's Meeting at 7pm. Then at 7:30pm we will head over to Off Track Brewing to drink beer and chat about projects.
One of the topics of discussion might be the educational recycling robot project we are taking on for the Waste Resource Education Office of Solid Waste Resources Halifax. You can catch up on the discussion over on the Google Group https://groups.google.com/forum/?fromgroups=&hl=en#!topic/halifaxmakerspace/MCJvMkSG7C8 and also plan to come out to our next project meeting on June 26th at 6pm.
We have been getting into the swing of things with our workshop offerings so our calendar has been much more full lately. For Core Members if you are heading into the space it would be good to check to make sure the Carpentry Shop or Electronics room aren't booked off for a workshop. Just take a look for events marked with * Workshop * on the calendar on our website https://halifaxmakerspace.org/#get-involved , and as an added bonus you can see the other events we have going on.
Here are the workshops that we have up on the calendar right now:

If you don't know much, or anything at all, about 3d printing but are curious about it then this workshop is for you. We will cover what 3d printing is and the types of printing that exist. We will dip our toes into some options for 3d modelling. We will talk about recommendations for your first printer. And likely of most interest to HMS members we will go do a full breakdown of our in-house printer so you will have all the info you need to start printing on a regular basis.
