Community Workshop III, 1/24

Curiosity. While lethal to most cats, remains a nominal concern for most humans

First of all much thanks to the Idaho Statesman for their article on our store. Also thanks to www.Getlofi.com and www.makezine.comfor giving us a shout, go check out their sites if you would like to have your mind expanded daily. Our third community workshop was an all-purpose event. Among the options of things to hack and make were webcams, noisemaker synth kits ala Forrest Mims III’s chap books, and an plain ol’ toy hacking goodness. By the end of the night we had a remote controlled spycam, an anatomical structure made out of vintage resistors, several hacked toys controlled by an Arduino, and had peeked at the burned out insides of an audio oscillator from 1941. The point we seek every time we host a workshop is to achieve a face to face forum of people with different ideas coming together and sharing them. I feel like I got to meet a few new good people and hope and many more stop in to find out what the Reuseum is all about. Many thanks go out to all of the great interesting people who came down, and especially to those who took a courageous step and decided to try something new for the first time. In case you didn’t get to make it this time, we still have all of the parts for your DIY project, so don’t hesitate to visit the store and collect your goodies for some ingenious fun. Our next workshop won’t be until March so don’t sit on your hands, get creative!
