Think micro maker faire (not affiliated). Its going to be a fun day for makers of all sorts. We will have a table setup throughout the day. Have any ideas of what we can do to spice things up? Maybe some competitions? SUMO demo's? Mini build of some sort? Let the group know via Meetup or Facebook. See ya there.

Special event for the Blair School of Music feauturing "Ballet Mécanique" by George Antheil
We have been invited by Michael Holland to display our cool creations at the Blair School of Music April 7th for "Ballet Mécanique". This is a first for us at the Blair School of Music and is very exciting. Its a great opportunity to show guests from Nashville and abroad whom we rarely interact with that the city has a strong and thriving Robotics club. For those not familiar with the composer George Antheil and "Ballet Mécanique" checkout http://www.antheil.org/. Eight robotic grand pianos, 3 Airplane propellers, and 13 live musicians will perform at 8pm after the outdoor exhibit closes. This is a hands on event with an emphasis on guest engagement.
Where: Vanderbilt Blair School of Music
When: April 7, 2013
Time: 6:45 - 7:30pm
Note: No power will be provided but we wont be setup for more then an hour. More then enough time if you want to setup some laptops. The lobby where we will be setup is outdoors so the exhibit will be cancelled if we get rained out but the concert will go on.
Engineering Day at ASC
It's TIME! If you're not on your way, come on down! Its going to be bigger and better than last year. Mike has some new BIG projects he plans on bringing out so the Mech is going to sit this one out. The Hacker Consortium guys are joining us to show off some more 3D printers, possibly a DIY CNC router, and will have the laser cutter on site! Hope to see some more new projects from members as well. And remember, even if you don't have anything its a great time too see whats happening with the group and promote the club to guests.
