Anyone knows what happened to the big projection screen that was hanging
form the blue biosafety cabinet in CCL?
It disappeared a couple days ago. We're making do with a small standing
screen for now, but we'd like to get our big one back...
Thanks!

Hi all,
I've been meaning to design and laser cut a contraption for our Science
Sideshow at the Cal Academy NightLive LIVE
<http://www.calacademy.org/nightlife/nightlife-live-june> event this
Thursday evening, but I'm rapidly running out of time.
Anyone able to give me a hand?
Basically, I found these vases that look just like giant test tubes - long
cylinder with a rounded bottom. So now I want to make a giant test tube
rack, and have them sitting at our booth with some food color and dry ice,
steaming away. Would look awesome!
I got about halfway through designing the thing in Inkscape, but I've never
dealt with designing fasteners for plywood before. Needs to have a wide
base so it doesn't tip over, but also needs to be hangable from a wall, so
the base may need to be removable.
If I were to order this through Ponoko, I'd probably go with something like
their 1/4 inch amber bamboo plywood
<http://www.ponoko.com/make-and-sell/show-material/226-bamboo-amber-3-ply>.
Is there any plywood at Sudo? Recommendations for a good place to buy nice
plywood?

Teen Tech Center

Hello Bay Area fellow Wikipedians,
The San Francisco Public Library and the Mozilla's HIVE Learning Networks
are launching a new Teen Tech Center in SF called The Mix.
The Hive Learning Network is a global community effort of Youth Servicing
Organizations led by the Mozilla Foundation. The HLN champions digital
skills and web literacy through connected learning. They have a presence in
11 cities including Bangalore, Vancouver and Mombasa, and growing fast with
10 new cities to launch by end of 2015.
This is a pilot program to help us/WMF evaluate if this is a viable
mechanism for the movement to engage with youth and help build future
community of Wikipedians.
The SFPL agreed to host a Wikipedia Station to help youth navigate and use
our projects as well as potentially contribute to them. This program will
be ran by the staff of The Mix - I am looking for someone(s) to train their
staff on becoming a Wikipedian and a guide to the youth in their program.
If you are interested, please feel free to ping me via email, I can share
more details.
The Mix launches next Wednesday June 18th - ideally we would like to have a
Young Wikipedian's in Training booth for back to school - sept 2015.
Thank you!
Sylvia

I'm not sure our universe contains big enough N's or O's to respond to
this appropriately.
Hey everyone,
I'm Lily at Brainbot! We're making a wearable mindfulness device that
vibrates when you are stressed or distracted, using awareness of your
real-time HRV signals to help guide you back to a place of calm and focus.
We're based in San Francisco and working on our fourth prototype design.
We've raised some angel funding and in July we'll join HAX - a hardware
accelerator based in Shenzhen, China - for a three-month program to rapidly
prototype and go to production on our device. After the program we'll be
back in San Francisco to launch!
We're looking for a great hardware engineer to come along on the ride - we
offer a lower salary than Apple but substantially more equity for the right
person - and the chance to create something from scratch at the earliest
stage.
Send us an email at team(a)brainbot.me if this sounds like something you
might love to do.
We're particularly looking for some combination of the following
interests/skills/experience:
Arduino prototyping
Biosensors
Embedded systems
Digital signal processing
Rapid prototyping
Manufacturing
Soft goods and industrial design
PCB layout and design
Mindfulness or meditation practice
Thanks for reading. Let us know if you have any questions!
