  • Other events:
  • Sunday Artisan Market - September 17th 11am-4pm (Kerrytown Farmer's Market) - CNC portrait demos and whatever else we want to bring (LED art?)
  • Tech Trek - September 22nd 1pm-5pm (along E. Liberty St., near the space) - we will have a table/tent and demo some things like the CNC portraits, as well as LED art and meshtastic stuff Nate has been working on.
  • Green Fair - September 22nd 5pm-8pm (on Main St., right after Tech Trek!) - Bike/personal mobility (scooter/onewheel/EuC/other?) parade around town. AHA will be a point of mention on the parade. Bring your favorite (non-automobile) ride!

• Education:
  • Mesh network class (Nate Y./Mike Z.). Did an initial test of the meshtastic nodes and it seemed to work (but we concluded the supplied antennas were lousy for urban usage). Nate needs to spec out costs and order a handful of kits. Now targeting an October timeline, since Nate is booked up most Saturdays in September.
  • Joe D. would like to do a nail art class; needs to do some more research on the techniques. September timeline.
