A rocket made in 123D.

Our next installment of our Raising Makers is guaranteed to be a fun experience, full of awesome new things that you should definitely try at home.  We’ve come across some pretty awesome ways to fabricate objects out of household materials and we’d like to share them with you!

Saturday, September 8th at 10am to 12pm, we’ll be working on a group project that is sure to be out of this world, and anyone is welcome to participate! You might want to bring a computer or something to take notes on as we’ll be sharing some great links for open-source programs and software that can help make ideas into objects and make trash more fun than..dare I say… video games.

Raising Makers is a family friendly event for all ages, please come down and check it out!

Toys made from the new 3D printer.
The new 3D printer.

Due to the generosity of a local prototyping engineer, we have been outfitted with a functional ZCorp 3D Printer.  We already are enthusiasts and developers for 3D printing, and the community spirit of open-source movements like Reprap, and we would like to invite the public to come and learn how to use the machine!  We’ve wrangle the members of Open Lab Idaho into becoming the technicians who get it running smoothly.  We’ll be hosting our first Raising Makers youth program on July 14th, 2012 from 10am to 12pm.  We’ll be introducing the attendees to different ways that you can use 3D modeling software to build designs and print them with machines of both hand built commercial quality. Anyone who is of school age, 6-18 may attend.

Community resources like Thingiverse and open-source software programs have made many great opportunities for us to make things in a way befitting the 21st century, and now is the time to raise our next generation of makers!  If you have a young person who would like to attend, please contact us and we’ll put you on the list. There is no cost to attend the Raising Makers event.
