  • Sign-up for workshop locations
  • Fall Workshop Planning
    Kris opened discussions for the Fall Workshop since we received the $500 that we asked for. Theme will be “New Technology Demos”. Possibly in Oct. and definitely on a Friday. That pushed us into November since so many other events are already planned in October. Kris offered the Oculus Rift from MCFL and asked if SPL’s might be available. Kim Smith offered the 3-D printer form MPL, and there was a request for a possible robotics demo. Questions were asked about any other new Technologies to demo, but it seemed those three would be enough.Finally, November 17 was suggested as the day, and Kris offered Marina Community Room for the venue.Kris will check if they are available and will email if all works out. Steve asked if we would be taping the event and Deborah said if she could come, she would tape it.Steve offered CSUMB equipment to record.The question was asked: Can we possibly use leftover funds from the $500 to purchase supplies for the 3-D printer? Consensus was yes.
