Running Classes

Update the wiki page for a tool you are familiar with.

Help move the wiki to new server or platform

Marketing - interview members about projects and publish to social channels - Promote upcoming events on social -make sure our listings in directories like Ann Arbor observer are up to date Social - organize and market a quarterly social hour (via zoom? In a park?). People can share projects with each other. Fundraising - Find corporate sponsors, keep them updated on what good things their money is doing.

Community outreach - Make sure we don't miss community events where we would fit and connect to the public / prospective members - Find other organizations we can partner with for projects (make PPE, 3D print tools or learning aids for physically or developmentally disabled people) - Run a repair night with different themes each week (vacuums, phones, etc)

Social (again) - Organize fun projects. E.g. Building a puppet for festifools, running a hackathon -Also "weird-/hacked-foods" potlucks at Island Park - Fancy outfit tea party on the Diag - AHA Flotilla from Argo to Gallup

Partner with scouting, schools, etc

Another idea: Find a way for people to learn how to use new tools: laser cutter , cnc router, vinyl cutter, lathe, 3D printers, vacuum pump / chamber. Write manuals, make video tutorials, etc.
