<div dir="ltr">Hi all,<div><br></div><div>I spoke with one of the organisers of an interesting "maker faire" type event yesterday that you might like to get involved in. The event is called eurisko Melbourne 2013 (<a href="http://euriskomelbourne.com/">http://euriskomelbourne.com/</a>). It sounds like it could be a good event to showcase student projects at. It seems quite well organised and yet affordable. </div>
<div><br></div><div>From the website:</div><div><br></div><div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left-width:1px;border-left-color:rgb(204,204,204);border-left-style:solid;padding-left:1ex">
Eurisko was conceived as a new flagship community event starting in Melbourne, Australia that would support the growing interest in engaging in hands on, first-principles skill development. The project was started by Paul Szymkowiak, Ammon Beyerle and James McDonald, after their success running of Australasia’s first Mini Maker Faire event in January, 2012.</blockquote>
</div><div><br></div><div>They are keen to cover their costs, but it's volunteer driven, so there will be a small cost involved if you want to exhibit. They are also looking for sponsors, which could be a good way to raise your school profile amongst the future makers of the world. </div>
<div><br></div><div>They are offering exhibitor tables (with 1, 2, 4 and 6 trestle table options) and will facilitate the running of workshops and activities.</div><div><br></div><div>I'll be running a table and will do a short version of my 3D printing workshop.</div>
<div><br></div><div>... speaking of which, here is a quick plug for my workshops on Saturday Oct 5 at 3:30pm at Southbank Library (which I'm aiming mostly at kids as a "school holidays" gig, but we'll see who turns up), and another one (marginally more adult oriented) on next Tuesday the 8th at 6pm at the York Butter Factory in King Street in the city. There are still seats available for these workshops, which are (amonst other things) a good way of getting an idea of the incursion workshops that I deliver to schools. Details of these and other upcoming workshops are at <a href="http://www.the-robots-are-coming.com">www.the-robots-are-coming.com</a></div>
