Hey people!<br>
<br>
During Oakland Wiki's hackerspaces-themed editathon last Sunday, I worked<br>
on the Ace Monster page, and through that discovered "Hacker Scouts", an<br>
amazing mentorship program for young people interested in hacking stuff.<br>
Today while lurking Ace Monster's discuss listserv, I ran into a great<br>
convo on it. If you are interested in developing a youth engagement program<br>
at Sudo Room, these people would definitely be great allies and provide<br>
good solid insight. There already seems to be a collaboration going between<br>
them and Mothership Hackermoms.<br>
<br>
(Message 10 is quite beautiful.)<br>

Dear Friends,<br>
We have an amazing teen at Hacker Scouts who is trying to fund his<br>
ambitious and amazing project for this year's Maker Faire. Cameron is a 17<br>
year old, homeschooled guy that paints, plays with lightning, makes<br>
electronic mechanical contraptions, writes computer programs, and<br>
builds/fixes computers.His project, the TARDIS tesla is very cool and<br>
ingenious in it's design and entertainment capabilities.<br>
<br>
We are proud to be helping Cam reach his Maker Faire goal. As a member of<br>
our Hacker Scouts Guild 001 in Oakland, we have the privilege of seeing him<br>
work on a variety of projects with precision, ingenuity and passion. He<br>
also mentors the younger members of the Guild with compassion and a cool<br>
ability to share knowledge. Between the Hacker Scouts mentors and his<br>
mentors at Arc Attack, he has the support to achieve his dream. We believe<br>
in him and his TARDIS Tesla, and ask you to contribute to his<br>
campaign<<a href="http://www.gofundme.com/TARDIS-Tesla" target="_blank">http://www.gofundme.com/TARDIS-Tesla</a>>.<br>
<br>
You can find his fundraising page here<<a href="http://www.gofundme.com/TARDIS-Tesla" target="_blank">http://www.gofundme.com/TARDIS-Tesla</a><br>
>,<br>
and our article about it on the Hacker Scouts<br>
Website<<a href="http://hackerscouts.acemonstertoys.org/?p=530" target="_blank">http://hackerscouts.acemonstertoys.org/?p=530</a>>.<br>
<br>
Even if you can't contribute, will you help out by sharing this?<br>
<br>
Thank you so much for your time,<br>
Samantha Cook, homeschooling mom of 3 and Executive Director, Hacker Scouts<br>

Yeah Cam has brought his Tesla coil into the space a few times to show it<br>
off, impressive stuff. I think he and Costa worked together on the laser<br>
cutter to build the control panel for it.<br>

Thank you! Last night he was speaking so enthusiastically about his<br>
project; I hope we can help him achieve his goal! If anyone is interested<br>
in the current Tesla Coils he has, he will be bringing them to the next<br>
Open Lab on 2/17. Sam<br>

Shared and shown off. Encouraging ambition like this is one of the best<br>
things we can do for the world - Cthulu knows we need more Doctors and Mad<br>
Scientists!<br>
