Maker-fair season is not quite over! Books by the Banks is next Saturday at the Duke Energy Convention Center. This event is mostly a chance to meet authors and buy books, but they will also have a makerspace room, which Hive13 will be sharing with the library makerspace people.
Right now it’s just myself and Ellie as confirmed volunteers. We would like to bring learn-to-solder, recycled cup planters, and a display of Hive13 stuff… but we could use some help to do all this. Please respond if you can help!
Day: Saturday 10/17
Location: Duke Energy Convention Center,
Time:
11AM-12: Leave Hive13, setup
12-4PM: event
4-5PM: pack up, return
Thanks,
Mike
I missed the meeting last night due to catching flu from my adorable 1-year-old disease vector…did we get any more volunteers for books by the banks?
Here’s where we are on stuff to bring:
-
We can do the standard display table with 3D printed stuff, John’s apiary, my robot, pamphlets, etc
-
We have the green light to do learn-to-solder, but I don’t think it makes sense with just 2 volunteers.
-
The library people are getting a bunch of plastic cups and stuff for DIY planters (like the ones by the Hive13 sink). I will bring instructions and a few already put together. This should only require a little bit of supervision on our part.
-
I’d like to bring some kind of interactive build-it-yourself, such as those laser cut shapes Elly and John made for past events. There’s also http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:172769
-
If anyone has a project or activity they want to show off, we can probably still include it.
Anyway…I’d like to tell Books by the Banks what we are bringing ASAP, but I want to know if we can muster more than 2 volunteers before I answer. This is a busy event and will probably have several 100 people coming by our area.

I will help out with where ever it is needed most.
