Maker Works is running a series of free laser demos on our new 80 Watt laser tonight from 4 - 7 PM. Feel free to drop by anytime!
Emphasis is on engraving and cutting hardwoods, but I'll be there and happy to run demos engraving metal on our fiber laser as well. Just ask!
A couple years ago we put a call out for volunteers to help assemble Learn to Solder Kits for a free STEM activity for kids and reddit crushed it.
This year we're running The Great Maker Race at Pioneer High School for Washtenaw Elementary Science Olympiad kids (WESO). It's a free, HUGE event for students.
But we have to finish drilling 4,800 holes into approximately 1,200 car bodies! We have a fun tool we call the Drillerator 4000. Four spring loaded dremels mounted to linear rails. Takes about 16.83 seconds to drill a car body. It's fun for about 10 minutes before it starts to feel like work ; )
There are a few volunteer slots open today, tomorrow, and friday.
We do provide shop credit for your time, and if you have a use for the shop and are already checked out to use other tools, you get a free day pass the day you're helping.
