I also have 12-14 sets left over from a school project I’d be willing to donate too.

Another idea- Clay domes with a hole in the center on the bottom. They can be strung upside down on a cord, add a shape at the other end and you have a bell or wind chime. People can paint and assemble. I also noticed some Unicorn slip molds in the kiln room. A variety of those type of things could be made and fired to be painted. This would also give people a chance to see the range of things that can be made in ceramics and hopefully draw in more members to Makeict.
The ideas and arrangements are endless for this project yet simple. A variety of shapes and stuff that can easily be assembled, decorated and taken home would go over well. Have a few examples hung up to give people inspiration and ideas then let the creativity begin.

These are all very simple things that can be made. I’ve done a ton of this stuff in the past when I was taking k-12 classes to teach art.

Hey Guys,
Maker Faire is this weekend at Exploration Place and the Advanced Learning Library.from 10am to 5pm.
Currently we have 3 booths we could use help running.
- CNC Foam Cutter - Hat demo
- Paint a Rock (turns out all the members of Rock ICT are also members of MakeICT)
- Pancake Bot
LaDeana, James, and myself are currently lined up to help these 3 booths, but we are looking for some more help. At least 2 of these booths will be inside at the advanced learning library, the other may be outside.
James and I will try to make sure the foam cutter is ready to do it’s thing at somepoint this week and try to have a few hats prepped for the event.

I will be running the pancake bot… so if anyone is interested in helping, you could learn how to use it…

Cool! Ideally, it’d be nice to have 2 people at each table or at least 1 person that can float around especially for breaks and lunch time.
Also, here is a map for this year’s maker faire. (I will be in running around area A, the MakeICT booths will be around either G, E, or I)

Are we moving things on Friday to set up for this or Saturday?

Setup time will be from 7:30am to 9:30am on Saturday for the Makerfaire.
The doors open for the event at 10am, but those two hours of setup may be pretty packed with helping performers, vendors, and makers setup their booths.
I’ll probably be zooming around and getting my 10,000 steps in at Exploration Place starting at 7am, but there should be a few people over at the Advanced Learning Library that can radio over to me if need be.

I hope I have some time to say hi, I’ll be at the Society of Women Engineers (SWE) booth helping kids make things in the afternoon. So many locations and things being made! It is so exciting that Makerfaire is back… we haven’t had it in so long I feel like this is a first one, rough draft, wish us luck, building year, if it’s amazing it will only get more amazing!

Are we all supposed to meet in a specific place to get our volunteer assignments?

The tables for MakeICT will be in the Advanced Learning Library.
For general volunteering, we have spray painted signs on the ground at exploratIon place guiding people where to go. One of the people in the Exploration Place shirts should be able to point you where help is needed, or come find me.
