[Electronicsclub] OHI/O MAKEathon and Volunteering Opportunities

Fri Mar 27 19:13:47 EDT 2015

Greetings everyone!

Just a warning, this is a bit longer email than we usually send. The gist
of it is that we have two upcoming events, De-Soldering Workshop and OHI/O
MAKEathon 2015, and we're looking for people to volunteer for ECouncil
events for us.

*Meeting Follow-up:*
Thank you to everyone who could make it tonight. It may have been a longer
talk but we hope you were still able to get a lot out of it. The
presentation is available in the slide archive as Sp-
14_Serial_Protocols_3-27-14.ppt

*De-Soldering Workshop*
On April 1st, we will be holding a de-soldering workshop in our lab,
Caldwell 078, starting at 5:30pm. Come on by to learn how to de-solder
boards without damaging the board and to recover usable parts. Feel free to
bring old electronics you have laying around and we'll provide some as
well. If you have a soldering iron, please bring it--just to make sure we
have enough. We will be welcoming donations at the event to cover the cost
of solder wick and solder consumed and to help fund better soldering and
desoldering equipment for future use. A suggested donation is $5 but it's
not a requirement to attend!

*OHI/O Makeathon 2015*

We are pleased to announce open registration for the OHI/O MAKEathon 2015!
The MAKEathon is a 24 hour, hardware focused hackathon. During the event
you will have time to work in teams to create something new! The event will
be on April 18th to 19th on the second floor of Dreese Labs in the area
around DL260. *Registration will close on Sunday, April 12th at midnight*.
Everyone who has registered by then will be notified of their attendance
 at the event. We will try to accommodate as many people as possible,
however, we have an 80 person limit. To learn more about the event and to
register, please visit http://make-oh.io/.

*Engineering Council Volunteer Opportunities*

Each year, engineering student organizations have a chance to receive 40%
of their total non-ECouncil funding in additional funds from ECouncil. The
catch is that to get this money we need people to volunteer at engineering
events around campus. We earn $75 per volunteer hour of credit with
ECouncil that we can receive when we go to request money at the end of next
Fall.

So, we hope that all of you are willing to volunteer at least one hour or
one and a half hours of your time at an event. The money we request from
ECouncil next fall will go towards funding pizza at our meetings, funding
new workshops, and interactive talks like the shift register talk given
earlier this semester.

We've included a list of every currently available volunteering opportunity
this semester below.

EEIC Creative Writing and Arts Showcase Event Volunteering
Opportunities (*Volunteers

A great idea is only as effective as the innovator’s ability to communicate
it to others. The EEIC Creative Writing and Arts Showcase Event gives
engineering students the opportunity to showcase their creativity and
communicate an idea to others. Submissions were welcomed in 6 categories
and the event, in E100 Scott Lab from 1-4 pm on March 31, 2015, will show
off these creative submissions.

 Donate Your Pancake Griddle for 3 Hours Volunteering Opportunity

event on April 8th, 2015 from 8am-11am. If you donate a pancake griddle
during the time, your student organization can get *3 volunteer hours*, one
for each hour the griddle will be used. Please contact me if you have a
pancake griddle to lend.

Engineering Design Showcase
The Engineering Design Showcase is a showcase where all of the senior
design projects display what they have been working on all year long.
Volunteers will be assembling metal grids with zip ties for posters. We
will provide a very brief training on how to assemble the grids, it is not
very difficult. The morning group will also arrange the grids in the
ballroom. This group will also be taping foam core boards to the grids for
the posters to hang on and passing out tacks for the posters. The afternoon
group will be disassembling the grids from the morning. This group will
also be stacking the various grid components for pickup by the vendor. This
group will also be doing some general cleanup of the venue.
