Design your own Museum Exhibit with Open-Source Blender
An online Friday check-in on creating your own museum exhibits using open-source blender tools at our North Oakland Hackerspace, SudoRoom.
We will be using open-source tools such as Blender for this quick online meetup and hope to move it to in-person! See our Wiki 3DModelling which we'll be updating as the week goes on.
Exhibits for Adults
There's a lack of museum exhibits, especially for science, targeted primarily at adults. That's unfortunate since adults are responsible for voting on stuff that can include climate change, destruction of the environment, and designing streets that are deadly and hit little kids with big SUVs.
Why don't we make some exhibits just for adults, the kids are all right and know what's up, but we have to make the adults understand that the world needs to improve and become a better place for all!
See our Wiki:ScienceForAdults which we'll be updating this week.
Brief Online Long In-Person Meetups
This is a brief online overview in preparation of an in-person, non-hybrid event at our wonderful hackerspace in Oakland, SudoRoom! Because it's always much better to meetup face to face without screens.
We will be creating a private online link closer to the meetup date!
