If you're a parent of a Chicago suburban, high school-aged kid interested in machines and electronics... mind taking a few seconds to fill out our @1SpaceLab survey? We're launching a few camps this summer. margal.us/3ptmEmW

Thinking of putting on a mini-mini maker fest/showcase in the Spacelab gym at Lockport this summer. If we did something like that, what would folks want to see/do?

Spotted at @1SpaceLab in Lockport's City Hall: a room filled w/ digital-fabrication, electronic, and craft tools; Nerf mods; angledronesolutions.com; PC workstations; strong community support; and plenty of room for activities! #vinylcutter #3dprinter #cncrouter #loom #makerspace
