November my only free weekend is the 21st. This is kind of close to Thanksgiving, probably a problem for most people. Maybe December 5? Or 12?
Has anyone looked into the couple boy scout merit badges we could help a group get? I know there is electronics, woodworking, game development, and a couple others. We could build a class, and offer it to local troops around the valley. It would be a bonus 3X over. We help get kids in the hacker mentality. We make money on the classes, and we show the parents what syn shop is.
I am also down with a separate youth group for hackers. Just thinking of ways to make some money, and build the syn shop brand.

I think MAKE also has trademark on "Young Makers", although, we might consider joining in on their program.
I'm currently teaching a friend's 13 year old son some woodworking and it made me realize how much fun that can be.
If we are looking for ways to generate income, I might also suggest private 1-on-1 lessons for a fee. I would be OK with doing that, as well.

That is great Brian! I will be on a business trip second week of November so probably won't make it. Do keep posting. When you have a time and date I'll spread the word. Also let's have someone take photos to document and promote :)

I like Las Vegas Young Makers, Las Vegas STEAM Explorers, Las Vegas Maker Scouts, something along those lines.

The Las Vegas STEAM Explorers is SYN Shop's youth oriented programming.
This Month's Project: Building a Wooden, Ceasar Cypher key.
Each Participant will build a Ceasar Cypher key out of wood. When done,you will be able to write down and decipher hidden messages. Ceasar Cypher keys are usually seen built into a "decoder ring." This basic encryption project will give the participant an understanding of the fundamentals of encryption used in advanced technology, as well as how to use woodworking tools to fabricate their own items.
Prototype:
More Information on the Ceasar Cypher is here.
****IMPORTANT**** We are looking for people willing to help us build the Las Vegas STEAM Explorers into a fun project-based education series for kids. Stay After this class, to talk with the organizers and get involved: OR contact us here on MEETUP. We will need your support to build momentum on this series of events!
Each Las Vegas STEAM Explorer event will provide events and projects teaching the principles of Science, Technology, Education, Art and Mathematics (STEAM) to kids and young adults. All projects will be as hands on as possible: and will focus on the participants leaving with their own crafted item.
All participants must be 17 years or younger, and accompanied by a parent or guardian. SYN Shop is also, a functional Workshop filled with dangerous equipment: so participants will need to be supervised and well behaved at all times.
Looks great Brian. So glad you are working on this.
Caitlin
That's awesome!
