<body class='hmmessage'><div dir='ltr'>Anyone have a cool project you wanna show at YBCA Yerba Buena Center for the Arts, downtown?<BR> <BR>Noisebridge has a couple of big tables. It would be great to have a few projects to show off.<BR> <BR>I'll be there teaching soldering to anyone who likes, and I'll also have a pile of stuff to make throwies. Rikke will be showing an RGB lit-up hood headlamp. Anyone else want to join us? Please email me.<BR> <BR>Best,<BR>Mitch.<BR> <BR> <BR>------------------------- <BR><div>> From: maltman23@hotmail.com<br>> To: noisebridge-discuss@lists.noisebridge.net<br>> Subject: Show your cool projects at YBCA!<br>> Date: Sun, 21 Sep 2014 17:40:24 -0700<br>> <br>> I just spoke with the organizer of Open City / Art City at YBCA, which is Saturday, 4-October.<br>> <br>> <br>> They asked me to have a Noisebridge table there, and I agreed.<br>> <br>> <br>> We'll get a large table as part of "DiscoTech", with a lot of AC outlets, and anyone who wants to can show off their cool project there. The project can be any kind of tech or art or craft. I'll bring a bunch of LEDs and batteries and magnets for making Throwies, as well as some simple kits for learning to solder. If someone wants to bring a 3D printer to show off, that'd be cool. If someone wants to bring a painting, or wearable item, that would be cool. Whatever you think would be cool -- would be cool!<br>> <br>> <br>> The event is from 11am to 3pm on Saturday 4-Oct. We can start setup at 10am.<br>> <br>> <br>> Please email me if you're interested.<br>> <br>> <br>> <br>> Here's more info that I was sent:<br>> <br>> <br>> <br>> I am excited to get in touch with you on behalf of YBCA and the Market <br>> Street Prototyping Festival Team! We are currently in the process of <br>> planning a DiscoTech event on Saturday, October 4th (11:00am-3:00pm) at <br>> the Yerba Buena Center for the Arts as part of the Open City / Art City <br>> Festival<http://ybca.org/open-city-art-city>. We would love to give <br>> Noisebridge the chance to be represented at this event, and to play an <br>> active role in it!<br>> <br>> <br>> <br>> A "DiscoTech" (Discovering Technology) is a community-based, <br>> community-organized, multimedia workshop and fair. At a DiscoTech, <br>> participants learn more about the impacts and possibilities of <br>> technology, and take part in fun, interactive and media-based <br>> workshops. DiscoTech workshops are designed to demystify technology and <br>> create a space where we can inform and engage our community. Our goal <br>> for this DiscoTech is to provide participants an opportunity to learn <br>> new skills and form creative collaborations, which will inspire future <br>> projects for the Market Street Prototyping <br>> Festival<http://marketstreetprototyping.org/> in April 2015, where up <br>> to 50 artists will be granted $2,000 toward a project of their own <br>> design! <br>> <br>> <br>> We'd be honored if you or other members of Noisebridge would be willing <br>> to host a table/booth as a "Station Manager" for this DiscoTech <br>> event. A Station is similar to a table at a science fair - each station <br>> focuses on a unique drop-in activity that can be easily shared with <br>> anyone, helping to demystify a technology, fabrication technique, or <br>> urban prototype. You'd also be welcome to showcase art or prototypes as <br>> a part of your station! It would be inspiring for attendees to be able <br>> to see a successful end product, in addition to the activity that you'd <br>> be presenting. <br>> <br>> <br>> <br>> <br>> Best,<br>> <br>> Mitch. <br></div> </div></body>
