The second Tacoma dorkbot meeting will be on Tuesday, March 20 at Tacoma
School of the Arts' club SOTA

 

The presenters for the evening are:

 

William J. Beaty:

Weird Science Salon Founder and mad professor emeritus William J. Beaty has
been goading Seattle's science hobbyists into action - and leading them from
the front - since 1984: that's twenty years of bangs and whimpers
(http://amasci.com/wsci/). Bill will bring Captain Kangaroo's magic drawing
board (overhead proj) and do various random stuff. He'll also bring his
microwave oven, argon bottle, etc. In most peoples' hands a microwave is
useful for warming yesterday's coffee, in Bill's hand it can produce molten
lava, melt beer bottles, generate plasma balls, light lighbulbs, the list
goes on... (http://amasci.com/weird/microexp.html tells you about the
experiments, and http://amasci.com/me.html tells you about Bill)

 

Joe Benner:

Tacoma art and technology buff Joe Benner will talk about the Kinetic Wooden
Fish on a Stick sculpture that he made for the Tacoma Siteworks Dance
Festival.

 

There will also be an open dork after the presentations where anyone can
take the floor for about 10 minutes to show us what you're working on, make
announcements, look for collaborators, etc. (Laura will make some sparks fly
with her father's Marx generator!)

 

--- Special thanks to SOTA for making Club SOTA available to dorkbot ---
