 Hey, everyone. This is Dr. Kiki. I'm here at the Portland Maker Faire with Greg from the Rogue Valley Maker Faire. Welcome to Portland. Thank you so much. Glad to be here. Yeah. It's good to have you here, and I'm glad you came up to the table to chat and say hi. So, can you tell everyone that we're talking to what you told me, why you're here? Yes, definitely. Well, my name is Greg Dills. I am a staff member at ScienceWorks Hands-On Museum in Ashland, Oregon. We are holding our first annual Rogue Valley Maker Faire coming up Saturday, November 19, 2016. We have had a science festival called Tinker Fest the last three years, and this year we are bringing the Maker Movement to Ashland and the Rogue Valley. Nice. So, why go from Tinker Fest? It's like something you've been doing to the Maker Faire. Is this in addition to or are you blending them and putting them together? Yes, I'm blending them. Tinker Fest was primarily an event about tinkering and making things. So, when we realized that the Maker Movement was going on, we jumped on board to be a Maker Faire this year. We are discontinuing Tinker Fest, but the Rogue Valley Maker Faire will be an annual event at ScienceWorks. That's nice. So, tell me a bit about ScienceWorks because I've heard about this amazing science museum down in Ashland, but I haven't actually been to visit. So, what kind of things do you find there? Definitely. So, we opened in 2002 and we served nine local counties in the Southern Oregon, Northern California area. We are the Regional Science Museum. We're five hours from Portland, five hours from SF. So, we are the second largest tourist attraction in Ashland after OSF. Oh, OSF. I was going to say the Rogue River. The Rogue River. Yes, number one tourist attraction. And we've been open about 14 to 15 years and we have an exhibit department. We build exhibits. We rent our exhibits out to other science museums. We change our exhibits every quarter. We also have a tinkering workshop called Da Vinci's Garage. So, in there, yeah, we get to do fun stuff like needle felting and tapagami and making paper circuits and stuff like that. Nice. And I've heard that if you are a member of OMSI that there's like a multiple institution fun granting that happens and that the ScienceWorks Museum is part of it. That is true. That is part of the ASTC network, passport network. So, if you are a member of ScienceWorks, you can come visit OMSI and vice versa. So, what do you do exactly? What's your background? So, I am the festival director of the Rogue Valley Maker Faire. Nice. I've been at ScienceWorks for about three years now. I also manage the volunteers there. I manage our internship program. I do all the bookings for our fundraisers and go out in the community, do a lot of PR work and a lot of outreach as well. Sounds like a lot of fun that you get to go out and meet people and say, come on, let's make things. Exactly. Let's do stuff. Come on. Yes. We have a lot of fun at ScienceWorks. Part of the mission is if you're not having fun, then it's not the right place for you to work. I love that. Okay. Well, we're going to have to put it on the calendar for November. Definitely. It sounds like a lot of fun. I hope you all come out. We're going to have a really fun event this year and it will be an annual event. So, be on the lookout for the Rogue Valley Mini Maker Faire. And it's November 16th. November 19th. November 19th. So, just a couple of months away, everybody. I hope that anyone in the Southern Oregon, Northern California area will make it out there. Maybe if you're in Reading, California, it's a shorter drive than all the way to Portland. Definitely. And we are looking for makers to come down. We currently have our call to makers open. So, if anybody is interested in coming down and showing off what they make, feel free to contact us. And we'd love to feature your booth at our festival this year. Wonderful. Well, maybe podcasting will make it. Wonderful. Thank you so much for your time. Thank you, Greg. Nice meeting you. All right, everybody. I'll be here all day at the Portland Mini Maker Faire. We're having so much fun. And if you are here or coming today or tomorrow to the Maker Faire, stop by the booth. We are near the planetarium inside in the Omsi and come and make a podcast with us or ask us all your questions about podcasting. Thanks so much. Go podcast. Go podcasting. Bye. Awesome.
