Everyone, Synhak does indeed have a table at Cleveland Mini Maker Faire this year. I plan to manage the table, in the worst case where only I end up going. Our table is 8ft long.
If any maker cannot attend the event, but would be willing to loan their project for a day, please please consider doing so. Cleveland mini maker faire does have a lot of young attendees that will appreciate any basic demos or hands on activities. I plan to: - take along my SnapCircuits kit that will hopefully be able to teach kids about electronics. - take black and white synhak flyers - hopefully take a keyboard, mouse, flat screen monitor, with a laptop that will run synhak pictures in a slideshow - perhaps (if I complete a simple demo) a tinyduino demonstration - 3V batteries and LEDs (thanks to Chris Neer for 3V batteries) Last year, I took my cubelets kit and the table allotted to us was literally stampeded by kids :) Another point of note is that CPL's parking was across the street. We did miss their loading schedule last year (which is usually between 8-9:30a or so behind the library for bigger items). The event starts at 10a, ends at 5p. Me, Torrie and Xander went last year. I remember losing my voice - as the environment got loud with lots of people. This year there's 100+ makers in attendance in two buildings. I might have to pickup my ASL book at home (hope not!). Philip, I don't know my schedule for Friday over Saturday yet. If I leave from Akron, will let you know - as I will be riding alone in my car which is rather quite big and can carry hackers and their gear safely. My primary motivation for going to CMMF is to interact with kids and share something of value with them. You all know my secondary motivation - meet and speak with other makers! Of which there are many more this year. If anyone would like to come along and schedule workshops every top of the hour, that would be great. Many exhibitors follow this format and its quite rewarding to see micro-events like make and take activities during the event. More thoughts and ideas, please reply back. -G On Sun, Mar 23, 2014 at 8:16 PM, Philip P.
