Can I get a show of hands for those willing to help with the VHS booth at Vancouver Mini Maker Faire, weekend of June 10th, 11th & 12th 2016.
We also need a person to organize the soldering booth if we are to have one this year.
The deadline is 4 days away to get our applications in.
A gentle reminder: being a part of VHS isn’t just about coming down to the space and working on your projects, using the laser cutter & 3d printers etc - it’s also about helping promote VHS at events like the Maker Faire.
I’m also going to be doing a booth this year. What I’d like to see is for the VHS booth, the Learn to Solder booth, and VHS member booths all be located next to eachother this year, as I always feel that separating things hurts VHS substantially from both an impact point of view, and convenience of helping each other. I’m going to poke a few people over this; fingers crossed!
I’d like to add - like me, many of the members probably consider themselves shy and a little reserved when talking to people in a setting like Maker Faire. But trust me when I say it’s not that hard to do. You are taking to people who want to know about something you are involved in, know a lot about and (hopefully) are passionate about - hacking/making stuff. Come join us and volunteer to help in the VHS booths at Maker Faire this year.
