Hello Hackerspace folks-
Last year was the first Radio Shack Hackerspace Challenge, a friendly competition between
Ace Monster Toys in Oakland, CA, and Artisan's Asylum in Somerville, MA. It's
happening again this year, and we're looking for challengers to take on the current
champs (Artisan's Asylum).
The challenge is sponsored by Radio Shack, and will be featured in print in Popular
Mechanics magazine (and therefore seen by millions of people). It's part of Radio
Shack's "Great Create" campaign, which includes an effort to improve their
offerings to the DIY community.
This is a great opportunity to work on a cool project, and get some good publicity for
your hackerspace and for the hackerspace movement overall. I'd love to hear from
spaces interested in forming a team and throwing their hat in the ring.
More specifics on the challenge will be available a bit later, but it will take place
over the month of June, and each team will build a project based on a theme (tba). Both
teams will get profiled in the magazine.
Some info about last year's challenge, including links to the print pieces:

If you're interested, and think you get a group together from your space, drop me a
line!
Ken
