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!

The Bugatti Veyron EB 16.4 is a mid-engined sports car, designed and developed in Germany by the Volkswagen Group and manufactured in Molsheim, France, by Bugatti Automobiles S.A.S.
The original version had a top speed of 407.12 km/h (252.97 mph). It was named Car of the Decade and best car award (2000–2009) by the BBC television programme Top Gear. The standard Bugatti Veyron also won Top Gear's Best Car Driven All Year award in 2005.
The current Super Sport version of the Veyron is recognized by Guinness World Records as the fastest street-legal production car in the world, with a top speed of 431.072 km/h (267.856 mph), and the roadster Veyron Grand Sport Vitesse version is the fastest roadster in the world, reaching an averaged top speed of 408.84 km/h (254.04 mph) in a test on 6 April 2013.
Name origin
The Veyron EB 16.4 is named in honour of Pierre Veyron, a Bugatti development engineer, test driver and company race driver who, with co-driver Jean-Pierre Wimille, won the 1939 24 hours of Le Mans while driving a Bugatti. The "EB" refers to Bugatti founder Ettore Bugatti and the "16.4" refers to the engine's 16 cylinders and 4 turbochargers.
World record controversy
A controversy developed in 2013 over the Veyron Super Sport's status as the world’s fastest production car, ultimately resolved in the Veyron's favor.
In early April 2013, driving.co.uk (also known as Sunday Times Driving) began an investigation following claims from US car maker Hennessey that its 928 kW (1,244 bhp) Hennessey Venom GT was entitled to the Guinness World Record. With a recorded speed of 427.6 km/h (265.7 mph) the Hennessey was 3.4 km/h (2.1 mph) slower than the Veyron but Hennessey dismissed Bugatti’s official record saying that the Veyron Super Sport was restricted to 415 km/h (258 mph) in production form and that for it to achieve its record top speed of 431.0 km/h (267.8 mph), the car used was in a state of tune not available to customers. Hennessey said its Venom GT was road-ready and unmodified and was therefore a production car in the strict sense of the term.
Driving.co.uk requested clarification from Guinness World Records, which investigated this claim and found that the modification was against the official guidelines of the record. Upon finding this, Guinness World Records voided the Super Sport's record and announced it was "reviewing this category with expert external consultants to ensure our records fairly reflect achievements in this field."
After further review, Shelby SuperCars, the producers of the Ultimate Aero TT, said that they had reclaimed the record, however Guinness reinstated the Super Sport's record after coming to the conclusion that "a change to the speed limiter does not alter the fundamental design of the car or its engine."
Bugatti Veyron 16.4 Super Sport, World Record Edition (2010–)
The Bugatti Veyron 16.4 Super Sport is a faster, more powerful version of the Bugatti Veyron 16.4. Production is limited to thirty units. The Super Sport has increased engine power of 1,200 PS (880 kW; 1,200 bhp), a torque of 1,500 N·m (1,100 lbf·ft), and a revised aerodynamic package. The Super Sport has a 431.072 km/h (267.856 mph) top speed, making it the fastest production road car on the market although it is electronically limited to 415 km/h (258 mph) to protect the tyres from disintegrating.
The Bugatti Veyron 16.4 Super Sport World Record Edition is a version of the Bugatti Veyron 16.4 Super Sport. It is limited to five units. It has an orange body detailing, and a special, black, exposed, carbon, body.
The vehicle was unveiled in 2010 at The Quail, followed by the 2010 Monterey Historic Races at Laguna Seca, and the 2010 Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance.

Teacher Geo Monley and his high school students are building an animatronic city at Tam High: Maker Field. Here’s their work in progress, which now features several tall buildings and multiple levels.
Geo and I are also teaching a similar class for middle school students: City of the Future. Children will combine arts and electronics to make a model of what our world could be like in 100 years. They will build a futuristic home with a cardboard ‘wonderbox’ and animated characters, bringing them to life with lights, sounds and motion.

Once a week, I mentor Natalina to help her with her french, as well as expand her maker and multimedia skills. In today’s class, we walked around our house talking about everyday objects in French, to develop her vocabulary and conversational skills. We then switched to Arduino programming and learned how to turn lights on and off in software. She wrote more lines of code on her own to make the lights blink when a button is pressed. She completed all the tasks quickly and keeps getting more fluent in French as well as with technology, which is music to my ears. Based on what we’re learning together, I will adapt some of these lessons for future courses with my maker art classes.
We also discussed and improved the story line for Violet’s Journey, the fairy tale video that we are creating with her art ducks. At Natalina’s suggestion, we removed a scene that wasn’t essential, and changed an important plot point to make it more interesting. We discussed how to show her character’s transformation by giving Violet rainbow-colored feathers, using illuminated fiber optic strands — a material we haven’t used yet, but which looks promising. And we added a new transformation scene in our video storyboard, which now has animations, dialog and music. The overall experience seems to engage people we show it to, which suggests we may be on the right track. More to come ...

A beautiful camera obscura built by Chris de Monterey. The image is projected via a mirror and lens on the roof of the building onto a circle of painted wood.
Because of the sharpness and lack of a framerate, the projection looks almost 3D. A beautiful depth of field effect is there, too.

Once a week, I mentor Natalina to help her with her french, as well as expand her maker and multimedia skills. In today’s class, she wrote her first few lines of Arduino code and it went really well: she felt really good about it. I also coached her to make a circuit to light up a lantern with a cardboard switch for our Chinese New Year Wonderbox, which was also successful. Natalina completed all the tasks quickly and keeps getting more comfortable with technology. Yay! Based on what we’re learning together, I will adapt some of these lessons for future courses with more students in coming months.
We also reviewed and tweaked our first video storyboard of Violet’s Journey, the fairy tale video that we are creating with her decorated ducks. We’ve now added music and dialog for each act, which gave us a good feel for the final experience:now that we’ve added the sounds, this fairy tale of ours has a lot more emotional depth and richness. We still have a ways to go on the production front: program our wonderbots to move as needed for each scene; shoot more footage of the ducks against green screen; create magical backdrops in Photoshop; superimpose the ducks over the backdrops; edit it all together. We plan to stretch out this work over the next couple months, but it’s already looking (and sounding) really good!
