[dorkbotdc-blabber] Marian Koshland Museum proposal

[Alberto Gaitán]

Hello, fellow dorks. Annie Drinkard, Communications Officer at our past 
host, Marian Koshland Science Museum of the National Academy of 
Sciences, sends us the following proposal for November. What say you? 
Any ideas? I told her I'd bring it up and we'd get back to her late this 
week.

I think it would be useful to think about how this event might further 
build the DIY tech community we've spawned with DorkbotDC, Make:DC, and 
HacDC. Perhaps we can propose something that draws upon all three orgs' 
missions:

How about a two- or three-day program where Make:DC brainstorms a 
project with attendees, HacDC builds it with them, and DorkbotDC 
presents the results.

While thinking about this, bear in mind what we'd need from MKSM to help 
make this happen the right way.

-- Annie's message---

I know your groups, Dorkbot DC and Make, used the museum in January. As 
the museum finishes its fall programming, we were hoping to tap into 
your brain a bit and see if your group would have an interest in 
hosting/running a public program this November as part of Global 
Entrepreneurship Week (Nov 17-23).

I am including links to both past KSM events and to the Global E-Week as 
a bit of background information.

Please let me know ASAP if you all would be interested, and what ideas 
you may have. We can also schedule a phone call or meeting for the near 
future.

Best,
Annie
