From the June 2023 Newsletter:
Don’t forget to come to the 7th Anniversary Celebration on Saturday, 10 AM to 2 PM. It’s hard to believe that we have gone from a small group to the second largest makerspace in Houston in just seven years. And, we had fun doing it!
Saturday will be a good chance to get together and meet some of the members you haven’t met before. Also, we will have many visitors that have not seen our makerspace. We can show them around the space and share some of the projects that have been made at the “Barn”. If you have some things you have made, bring them in, others may want to see them. We will have some demonstrations and how-to’s going on. Also, some food catered from Chick-Fil-A and the Kona shaved ice man. It should be fun.
Lisa Lane has been working on getting our ceramics program under way. The plan is to have a pour night where members can get together and pour slip into a mold and make a hollow ceramic figure. The pour night will be June 20th at 7:00pm.
And we now have the coolest wood shop around. Thanks to the two new A/C units installed.
This gives us a total of nine tons of coolness in the shop. The new mini-splits are also heat pumps, so that will help when winter arrives.
We will be having some other learning events coming up such as a class on using the tiny XIAO-ESP32-C3 computer as a web server, What makes a vacuum tube work, Ceramics, and other interesting topics.
See you Saturday!

President, MakerBarn
