This week at CRASH Space: July 8st - July 15th

[Carlyn maw]

Hey All,

Sorry for the delayed message this week, but it's all about building anticipation.  The change to our member meeting format went really well.  Matt Pinner is now the Signage & Art Node Ninja and Zeve is the Telepresence Robot Wrangler and I am continuing to bend wordpress to my will for crashspace.org 1.5 (It's not HackerspaceOS, but it will do for this round) Theron has been rockin' the Makerbot and has started teaching people how to print parts informally. He'll be teaching a class soon, so stay tuned for that. Michael Clive has also gotten the CNC working and has made a successful rocket test.  YAY!

Another class on the way,(on the CNC that is, not rockets, but maybe he'll do that too, hint hint) 

Tod has put himself the hook for the next Kit Build Night, it'll probably be last week of July/first week of August.  He's planning on it being the Simon Game from SparkFun.

So as for events actually on the calendar already...


July 10th @ 12-4:00 PM We have the Mega Take Apart and Swap Meet as Justin sez "Just a quick note, this Saturday is another MEGA TAKE APART, our exciting series of events where we sort and recycle and extract of all the coolest bits and pieces from our donation pile. So come by Saturday 12 to 4 to drop in any donations you'd like processed for you, or to pick through for any choice bits you'd like yourself."

July 13th @ 8:00 PM Is the Public Night, we are hoping to do a little ad hoc soldering class to get people ready for build night. Everyone welcome, come see the space!

Our speaker series continues on July 14th @ 8PM who is going to show off the MicePace Maze

MicePaceMaze
Developed at the Center for Integrated Media at the California Institute of the Arts, MicePace Maze employs the mouse maze concept that scientists use to test memory. Utilizing this concept, we have created a human mouse maze with no walls. MicePace Maze players are given audio information through the use of wireless headphones creating a maze using sound as the walls and challenging players’ abilities to move through a space with only what they hear.
