Hey Lab,
Here is a list of a bunch of the ideas I've had for the lab, or things I just haven't gotten around to. I don't want you to read this list for any particular reason. I want you to do your own thing. If you want to read this list cool. Or if you want to tackle any of these that'd be awesome.
These were all residing in my mental backlog of what I wish I was doing. There are other things I'm dealing with that were contributing to my overall inability to be a chill dude. This list was contributing at least a little. I'm simply letting go in a sense. After we finish the FPV Robot Build I can pick another interesting project to work on.
Event: A repeat of Friendsgiving for 2017
Event: Bartholomew Day. See how many Bartholomew Robots we can make in a day.
Event: Class on how to make laser cut boxes
Event: Class on LaserCut x.x whatever version we have. Lab Laptops will need LaserCut first.
Event: Community Swap Meet
Event: DIY laser cut cameras http://www.focalcamera.com/
Event: Electronics for Everyone a series of classes on basic electronics
Event: Fail Friday / Try New Things Tuesday. Encourage people to bring things they've been wanting to try that may or may not work the first try. Learn from each others mistakes and attempts and push ourselves to try new things.
Event: Family day, focusing on events the whole family can enjoy
Event: Fix It Day; bring your broken things and get help with how to fix things like tracking down shorts in wires, how to replace screens (you'll need to buy a replacement online first), how to get a proper replacement power supply and more.
Event: HeatSync Show and tell day
Event: Host an open source donation event to see how much we can raise for lots of open source projects while also including some money raised for the lab.
Event: HSL 10 year community reunion in 2019. Maybe the week of Southwest Maker Fest.
Event: Laser maze challenge. Set up a fake high tech burglary alarm system where you have to pass by lasers without triggering them (David Flores and I have lasers for this)
Event: Loafing Night V3Event: Make Graham Cracker Houses for the Holidays
Event: Marble run: Make a massive group build marble run in the lab.
Event: Materials classes at HeatSync. Introduce people to various materials so they can consider them for projects; Silicon mold making, polymorph, Sugru, metal clay, not sure what else
Event: Participate in Comic Book Day
Event: Re-Use-It Hackathon. What creative ideas can your team build with old motors, fans, power supplies, housings etc from old printers and other tech that gets recycled?
Event: Throw a party style fundraiser. I've heard that getting people drunk is how to get real donation dollars.
Process: Automate information collection for the purpose of tracking our success.
Process: New Member Orientations and follow up to make sure new members are getting what they need out of being part of our community.
Process: Organize data about HeatSync via automated and self submitted means; calendar data, badge reads, wifi access from machines, door logging, a login computer at the front.
Process: Some way to track what people want to learn so we can fill these needs and show that we are succeeding at this.
Process: Suggestion box for suggestions or comments
Project: Arduino Kits for Sale
Project: Color code tools based on stations
Project: FAQ; Misc notes on things people ask in the lab / log questions people ask when I'm hosting
Project: Get a sink for behind the lab. Austin says you can buy an outdoor sink, but we can't legally drain it into the alley. Ask neighbors about their outdoor plumbing hookup.
Project: Group build a RetroPi arcade console. In the end people can use the same build plans and know the process better
Project: HeatSync back door ajar alarm
Project: Introduction video about HeatSync at the window
Project: Improve the table electrical outlets so they all fit nicely on the sides of the table like Rober Bell envisioned
Event: Class on how to make laser cut boxes

Also because bigger projects are cool, but little things make a difference. Things everyone can do;
Take out trash
Put tools away
Clean the bathroom
Give tours of the space (Front Middle Back, isn't it great!? [that's the abbreviated version for the curious])
Learn where things are so you can help other people find things at the lab
Introduce yourself to others and introduce others who are new to people

Some great ideas. Friendsgiving, laser boxes, swap meet, electronics for everyone, re-use it marathon, color coded tools, retro game console. The tape dispenser seems fun. What we have now works for space efficiency. Keeping the top of the tool box clean will help with that. The tool box is at its end of life cycle. I also like the idea of a HSL member reunion. It may spark some inspiration.
Perhaps it's time for a new tool box that will work in dimension and number of drawers.

First off, wow what a big list of fun possibilities!
Event: Electronics for Everyone a series of classes on basic electronics
I have been thinking about suggestions for this one. I assume that you are thinking of a very simple V = I * R, resistors, caps/inductors, LEDs, transistors/diodes, MOSFETs, 555 timers, microcontrollers, and then maybe op-amps and/or motors.
I found a few PDFs that might help.http://www.electronics-tutorials.ws/pdf/basic-electronics-tutorials.pdf if you jump directly to section 2 to skip the physics but ends with op-amps, or http://space.rice.edu/PHYS401/PPT/session2.pdf which also goes into more physics than you might want for electronics for everyone class. I think a good goal for the class would be to be able to hook up a lap or LED to a 555 or a microcontroller, understand how to pick a reasonable wattage for a resistor that you order on line and why you use caps to reduce noise spikes on switches or digital power pins.
Just suggestions on how to get the ball rolling on just one of your ideas.

Mike,
Thanks those are definitely interesting for the physics of electronics.The "Electronics for Everyone" was really more intended to focus on actual working circuits and components in context of those circuits.
When I started my electrical engineering degree we it was a lot like those pdfs. We covered individual components, theory, and slowly started making very boring circuits. It's like showing someone a leaf and expecting them to get excited about a beautiful forest. There is definitely fascinating things on both levels, but they are different.
+Project: Check out this guys youtube. Jeremy Fielding using reclaimed motors from appliances to build or modify shop tools.

Eric,
I agree whole heartedly. I shortened my initial post where I described in more detail what I thought you were looking for. I agree no device physics, just V = I * R. One resistor, two resistors, a potentiometer and resistor to make a voltage input for a micro. Short discussion on caps and show on a scope if possible, sorter on inductors. Lighting an LED with a resistor, then a little transistor theory then lighting the LED with a transistor, resistor, and pot. Then the same with a MOSFET, then repeat with an Arduino driving each one. H-bridges for motors and op-amps for filters mentioned for extended study beyond the Electronics for Everyone. I was imagining it to be just enough to hook simple stuff up to an Arduino. I did not find any PDFs that addressed things at that level so I threw in the closest I could find.

Offloading more ideas.
Event: Community Neighborhood Night; Invite RailMesa, DMA, idea Museum, CreativeCatalysts, BridgingAZ, Mesa Neighborhood Outreach, etc
Event: DIY Canvas so you can make your own unique sizes maybe even shapes. inspired by https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nLpNO5SX9A0
Event: Fusion 360 study group for 2 months
Event: metal marking with the laser workshop. Use dry moly lubricant. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0013J62P4
Event: P-Hacking Night. Explore how it's important to avoid bias in the scientific exploration of data. Also have fun coming up with fake statistically significant results.
Event: Pinewood derby hacking night
Event: Run a recurring Repair Café https://repaircafe.org/en/start/
Process: Be nice to each other. inspiration https://www.wikihow.com/Be-Nice
Process: Collect the names of all businesses getting mail at the lab. Indicate we provide services to these companies when writing grants. Probably make a mail inbox for this and encourage people to use it.
Project / Process: When someone unlocks the doors have the lab cool to 78 degrees. Possible way to encourage people to host extra open hours.
Project: Build a rack card holder for brochures about events that aren't held at HeatSync
Project: Build shelves that will allow member boxes above and below a work table.
Project: Create an "Escape Room" that requires maker skills.
Project: Make a list of all the base settings for laser cutting various materials.
Project: Make something that checks the door status at, say, 18:45 and maybe again at 19:00 that will alert people in the lab if the doors are still locked.
Project: Physical IOT Switchboard (or Pagenodes interface). People can physically connect events from the web to electronics via an oversized breadboard type device in the lab so anyone can connect anything to it and get triggered events from the web, or the reverse.
Project: Physical map of maker places in Phoenix area
Project: Post a list of all Someday Maybe items from this list to the bathroom wall (Thanks RB)
Tool: device for calibrating monitor color for graphic design professionals link http://www.datacolor.com/photography-design/product-overview/spyder5-family/#spyder5elite
Tool: Low budget hydroformer (rubber press thing) inspiration ; https://hackaday.com/2017/10/20/low-budget-hydroformer-puts-the-squeeze-on-sheet-metal-parts/

In your last dump you mentioned inviting all these different groups. I have this crazy idea leapfrogging on that. Let's plan a week long (maybe 2 week) hackathon where teams of one or 2 people from any of these groups upcycle/artify/hack a peice of junk of thier choosing. We document and share it 3 times a week all over social media and maybe even the city. Have a big shindig at the end with an auction to benefit HeatSync and the scores are based on the difference between spent and sold. It is basically a local version of find it, fix it, flog it. I bet we could get Goodwill to be involved because that would be great advertising for them too.
I have been unable to shake this idea. It is overwhelming and complex. I think it would be terribly fun and terrible at the same time.

I like the community swap meet. As president of the local working club we get a couple emails a month of people, or families of deceased people, wanting to sell off their tools and material. This would be perfect

I just want to point out I snuck this one in the list;
Process: Be nice to each other. Inspiration https://www.wikihow.com/Be-Nice
It's a good idea, and I appreciate all those of you who have unwittingly been implementing this.

Check out this old idea of Eric Ose's. We should do some (or all) of it. How about Friendsgiving? Are people comfortable with that with covid going on?

Never mind, we can't practice mask-wearing while eating. I'm very interested in the basic electronics class.
