 +    * Marguerite Koole from the ETC Makerspace in the U of S College of Education visited us recently. They have funding to run a makerspace in the basement of the education building. They have full time staff running workshops. They have limited space, equipment, and technical experience/skills. They are hosting workshops for children. They don't see themselves using the same kinds of equipment we have (sensitive to smells and safety), but they would be interested in working with them. Perhaps we could hold workshops there, help train their staff, etc. Could also lead to them directing people to us for more advanced projects. Albert is willing to talk with them. They will be visiting us again soon. They asked about deals for other organizations.
