[Noisebridge-discuss] Saturday: Show your cool projects at YBCA!

[Mitch Altman]

Anyone have a cool project you wanna show at YBCA Yerba Buena Center for the Arts, downtown?
 
Noisebridge has a couple of big tables.  It would be great to have a few projects to show off.
 
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.
 
Best,
Mitch.

> 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!

> workshops. DiscoTech workshops are designed to demystify technology and 
> create a space where we can inform and engage our community. Our goal

> new skills and form creative collaborations, which will inspire future 
> projects for the Market Street Prototyping 
> Festival<http://marketstreetprototyping.org/> in April 2015, where up 
> to 50 artists will be granted $2,000 toward a project of their own

> We'd be honored if you or other members of Noisebridge would be willing

> event. A Station is similar to a table at a science fair - each station 
> focuses on a unique drop-in activity that can be easily shared with 
> anyone, helping to demystify a technology, fabrication technique, or 
> urban prototype. You'd also be welcome to showcase art or prototypes as 
> a part of your station! It would be inspiring for attendees to be able 
> to see a successful end product, in addition to the activity that you'd 
> be presenting.
