We had a blast at the first meetup for Tam Makers, our new makerspace in Mill Valley. We hosted this free event at the wood shop at Tamalpais High School in Mill Valley on June 8, 2016.
A diverse group of people came to the visit the shop, learn about our classes and discuss how to grow our maker community. Participants ranged from experienced artists, technologists, makers and woodworkers, to people interested in learning new skills, as well as high school and middle school students and their parents.
We opened the shop at 6pm and folks started to connect right away, checking out some of our demos, showing off recent projects and touring the space. At 7pm, we gave a presentation on Tam Makers, and talked about our first courses, meetups and tools for adults and youth. We then discussed these programs as a group and received some really helpful feedback.
Most people were very interested in participating in Tam Makers and using the makerspace regularly. They also liked the mix of classes, ranging from maker art to technology and woodworking. Some people signed up for classes on the spot and most wanted to join more meetups. Many offered to volunteer as well. One person said this event had a great community feeling, unlike more commercially motivated makerspaces.
We’re really happy that this first meetup went so well and that so many folks want to participate actively. We look forward to collaborating with our new maker friends very soon!

Last week we held a VC4Africa meetup in London (On Dec. 4th, 2009) at which 20-30 people attended.
The group that convened was a diverse set of people including from UK, Ethiopia, South Africa, Senegal, Zimbabwe, Surinam, Kenya, Nigeria, India, Ghana and from many different professions(entrepreneurs, investors, researchers, lawyers etc).
The event went for well over three hours starting at 5:00pm and going past 8:00pm.
My impression was that most people went away having had some interesting conversations and exchanging ideas/information about projects and/or their interests. I hope in due time we will organize a follow on event and thank all those that made it to the event and for making it a lively/enjoyable session. Also thanks to Ben for the support in the promotion and oraganising of the event and everyone else that helped.
Look forward to connecting for a meetup in Addis!
