I’ve been attending open meetings at Splat Space, our local hackerspace, for over a year now. They’re familiar with our school build project, but I wanted to remind them that I wanted to bring in some outside help and presenters as well.
At the open meeting, I got up and explained the project again, and asked members to come talk to me if they had any interest in helping, or if they were willing to make a short presentation to the kids on something interesting that they’re making. I got a couple of people to take me up on the offer, and I arranged for each of them to visit the club during a meeting.
