 Very good. Well, welcome everyone and thank you for coming. I think I might let Chris to start by telling a little bit about how you can type notes in the chat box. Oh yeah, sure. Yes, some of you have been on over here on camera. If you have any questions or comments throughout today's session just type into the question section. I see some of you are already in there. It's one of the items on your webinar interfaces questions. Type in there. I'm monitoring that over here on this laptop. If you have your own microphone, just tell me and I can unmute you and you can use your microphone to ask your question. So you want to tell you by just typing in the chat box? I have a mic and a question. Please unmute me. Okay, and I will do that for you. But if you want to just type, go ahead. Type in whenever you want to anything that comes to mind and I will just collect them all here and as they're as needed I will jump in and interrupt appropriately to ask their questions. Yeah, I feel free to ask questions all through the one-hour webinar and if you do miss anything we are recording and it'll be posted up later on to the grant website. So if you miss some question or answer we'll go back and watch it. Right, and we'll also send you the link because you probably have other members of your staff or community action team that probably aren't tuning in. If you'd like them to hear it too you can share the link and I'll send, hopefully send that to you later today if not today tomorrow. So on our webinar today we have a few facility facilitators who will be presenting today. I'm Joanne McManus and I'm the project manager for this particular project. We also have Max Wheeler and he was the new higher at the University of Nebraska and he'll be talking to you today too and he is really the person that is in charge of the training and knowing the machines and helping you with those machine with those pieces of equipment. We have Mary Jo Ryan. She is also with Nebraska Library Commission and is our communications coordinator and if you have any questions about fresh releases or whatever she's your go-to person there. On the line today is Connie Hancock with Nebraska Extension. She will also be talking especially in the area of community engagement and working locally so you'll hear from her and we also have Dave in Valentine and he is also with Nebraska Extension and he will be visiting with you as well and of course we have Rod Wagner our director here at the Nebraska Library Commission and I think he will get us started on talking about our partners that are involved in this project. Click your partners. There we go. Several partners involved in the project. prominently we have the our partners Nebraska Extension, Nebraska Innovation Studio, our Nebraska Regional Library Systems and of course our funding agency the Institute of Museum of Library Services. Do you want me to mention that of the earlier projects? Yeah, yeah. I kind of want to say how we got started on this project. Jo-Ann asked me to go back and mention some projects that we have done in partnership between the Library Commission and Nebraska Extension in particular and this goes back several years to the Library Broadband Builds Nebraska Communities Project, a federally funded project of several years ago that also included funding from the Bill and the Gates Foundation. Along the way we also were in partnership where the Library Commission contributed to the Nebraska Broadband Mapping Project and also somewhat recently but all already finished a few years ago was a financial education project that was funded through a FINRA grant and this the Nebraska Extension provided significant training for that project. So we have continued to have conversations and those meetings led toward the project that is now before us and also developed as part of those discussions came the grant through the National Science Foundation and working with Brad Barker on that. So a number of things have led toward the Nebraska Innovation or excuse me the Library Innovation Studios project and we're very excited about it and very much appreciate the interest we've had from the Nebraska libraries. Very good. Thank you Ron. Yeah, we that our work with partners we just keep on the field on all these success we've had and now we've got two great projects because we started taking an active role in seeing how we can work together. So on today's agenda we'll be covering we'll be going around introducing the folks on the call today other than those of us talking here in Lincoln. We will be reviewing the project goals and overviews talking about partner recognition and local clarification. We'll be talking about the train and trainer trainings that are coming up both here in Lincoln and locally. We'll talk about local calendar activities that you'll be scheduling in your libraries and families. We'll be talking about that equipment and then we will have time for questions and answers at the end but please don't wait until the end and put that in the chat box and we can you can either just type in your question or you can ask Krista to unmute you and we can get your get you on the line and answer your question as we go. So as far as our introductions I did mention who is here from the team but we also honey do you want to say a few words about Nebraska extension and your role there? Yes absolutely. So Nebraska extension has partnered and we obviously have offices in all or represent all 93 counties and so we've tried to have conversation with our local extension educators about this particular project and I think most of those folks are excited about the opportunity to partner with the local library and bringing the mobile maker space to their community and so we're excited about that. I see there's a few of those folks on the call today and then we obviously have some of the same kinds of goals that this project has in our own programming and so it really is a nice fit for the work that we do as well as what we're trying to do in our local communities. Thank you and I know today we also have we also have two of our regional library system directors on the line Scott was not able to join us so Anika and Denise do you want to say a few words as Denise Harders and Anika Hi this is Anika. Yeah I just you know I'm excited to help support the libraries in our area Plattsmouth with you know helping look at community engagement or how they can create programming anything that we can really do I think is is kind of the the goal for the regional library systems as a partner is to just be that support for our library some extra hands or an outside point of view if they need that. And this is Denise and Anika and I and Scott and Jan out in the Western library system have talked about helping put together some policies and how we can assist in that way. That would be help. And let's let's say hi to our libraries that are on the line. I don't know who you want to unmute first. Should we start with Plattsmouth since Plattsmouth will be our first library. And Plattsmouth do you have a microphone at the depth? Yeah what you think and Karen I muted you if you have a microphone. And all of you libraries you can when if you get unmuted and are able to visit with us kind of let us know who you might have in your at your library location tuning in whether you have part of your community action team with you or your extension educator and I know some of you are at different sites so you're not just all sitting in the same room. Okay so maybe Karen if you want to just type in who's with you and what organizations maybe they represent then we'll ask Krista to read that if you don't mind typing that in the chat. Okay let's if maybe Ainsworth while they're I mean. I just have the names. Gail Irwin. Okay I'll say that she's there with Wanda Raymond. Ashlyn. Heather. So can we unmute you up together? Gail's microphone is not working but she has um Heather's there with three additional members of her team. Gail is there with Wanda Raymond and Karen has Barbara Miller there versus library director with her and her team will be meeting on Wednesday. Okay and who is that that's meeting on Wednesday? Yes I'm going there. I just thought I better make sure I'm not meeting in two places. And then we have Luke City and Crete as well. And from an extension perspective Joanne Eric Stelik is on representing Crete. Hi Eric are you on the microphone so we can unmute? I think so. Hi Eric. Hello. And I just want to mention as we're talking I think everyone probably is aware that maybe not all the libraries. In this first round as you all know we have four maker kits and typically we bring in the entire maker kit but in in this round we have five libraries and Luke City and Crete are both what we call many studios and that means that they don't really have enough space to put up to bring in all the equipment at once so we're going to be splitting that equipment between those two libraries. Each of those two libraries will get half of the equipment and then 11 weeks later we will pick up the equipment and put them. And Max is working on a list of how to split those equipment between those two libraries. Libraries because we need some to stay together and others is easy to split and so very within the next couple days where we'll get you your list of which equipment you'll get for running and at the end. I don't know if everybody has microphones. Heather at Ashland did say she has a staff member, Sarah, a library foundation member, Terry and Mike community members are with her. Great. And hello everyone, Joy Stevenson at Crete says it's just sure right now that Laura Ranker will be joining us in next year's round. So Luke City, we get you to type in the chat box who's there with you and what organizations they represent. Yeah, I've been trying to I'm going to read you because there's a lot of feedback so can you just type in Oh and Tracy Ensor is on from extension in Cass County as well. Hi Tracy. There you go, Tracy. Well, I think we'll just move on so we can get through our agenda. So we just wanted to start off with a huge congratulations. Thank you for being part of this grant doing all the front-end work in submitting the application, interacting with your community partners and forming your community action teams. A huge thank you and congratulations. Makerspaces really have the potential to contribute to entrepreneurship, community development, education, non-cognitive skills, college career readiness skills. So there's lots of great impact that can come out of having a Makerspace in communities. And there's lots of research on Makerspaces and I kind of boil it down into kind of three buckets. People, place and then creation and innovation making part. And I looked at your applications and I kind of wanted to identify some of those things that highlighted that. So within CRETE, they're looking at engaging the growing population of 24-year-old and younger group. So looking at those people and people isn't just the people that are in the space but also the larger community. And so that's really cool. Ashland, you've identified entrepreneurs in the community and you see this Makerspace is helping bring their ideas to fruition. There are other partners and people involved but this is just one couple examples. Around place, this is the physical place. So you all sent pictures and thought about where the stuff is going to live in your libraries but also your place in the community and how you can contribute to the greater good for your community. And we've identified some of the physical spaces and engaging partners. So in all of those, you all did a great job and identified those. But around creation, that making part. So Plasmit has already been doing some Tinkerspace programming and they're looking at continuing their efforts on a little larger scale with some of the equipment they're getting from the Tinkerspace grant. And also Loop City has identified even needs from their parents so that they want more hands-on technology to benefit some of those career-oriented youth. And also Ainsworth, the cutest one I thought was support letter from an eight-year-old named Kim Lee and the quote from her was she's excited to use the equipment and learn new things. Y'all are engaging that the people, the places you live and really looking at that creation and innovation. So a huge congratulations on this grant and we look forward to the partnership and collaboration moving forward. Thank you, Daniel. So I guess one of the things we wanted to mention is that we really see three goals as guiding the Makerspace project. And the first one is that rural community residents will be empowered with tools and some guidance to explore, collaborate, create, learn and invent. So there's a goal for those rural individuals that it will be meaningful learning experience for them. And then secondly that the libraries can help to transform their rural communities through creating a participatory learning space and establishing themselves as a strong community catalyst for community change. And that's that community engagement piece. That's the place in which we we spread out from the individuals that are having experiences in the Makerspace to the groups that are interacting in the Makerspace to the groups that see this as having an impact on their community. And then of course our goal is to also provide information to libraries across the country so that rural libraries can have a replicable model that might be useful to them. We think these goals really dovetail with community goals and the community goals we've been looking at by the way your library strategic plans and we're seeing community goals that really fit with this. And Connie might want to talk a little bit about how that those local community goals overlap with our overall overall goals for the project. Absolutely Mary Jo. I think that's a great segue into really delving into your community itself. I think part of the partnership that we've established with the Nebraska Library Commission is that we all realize that our resources are limited and how can we build capacity at the local level to make not only the Makerspace, the Mobile Makerspace successful, but then how can we build on that to make it sustainable after the Mobile Makerspace is gone. And so as you think about your action team and your whole community, who else needs to be at the table? But at the same time, what are your community goals? Are you trying to attract people? Are you building entrepreneurship? Is it around economic development kinds of stuff? The school system and 4-H in particular both have a STEM or a STEAM initiative that fits very much into the whole concept of what Makerspaces are all about. Sharing that knowledge and as Dr. Faradar and his vision for the state of Nebraska is creating that network of networks. And so having the partnership with Nebraska Innovation Studio as kind of the Taj Mahal of Makerspace here in our state, how can we share that knowledge in our rural communities across the state? And we know that we've got a lot of really smart people that live in rural Nebraska and so having them part of that Makerspace, having them invent or create or mentor, sharing that information with other Makerspaces, I think is going to be really exciting. The other piece of that is just the whole concept of the networking and learning from each other and that's really part of those community goals and how we make this successful in the future. We all know that there's a problem today of X, Y and Z. How can we work together to solve that problem and create something that may end up being a prototype and may be the next best widget that can create jobs in our rural community? So as we think about just the Makerspace itself, there really is a much bigger vision in that and so creating that network of networks and working together then to establish our own sustainability and success within the areas that we work. Getting the buy-in from community is going to be extremely critical as we start to showcase the kinds of things that are being created through the Makerspace during the time that you have access to it. I guess one of the things we've talked about a lot is that all of your community goals are they might be similar but they're all unique and so it will be a unique solution finding process in each community. Absolutely Mary Jo and the other thing along with that is each community is going to be unique in what they focus their Makerspace on and what one community what works in one community is not necessarily going to work in another community. So I think you need to keep that in mind that what really is going to work in my community and who who do I need to bring to the table to help me make that successful. Thanks Connie. Joanne you want to tell us a little bit more about this project? Yeah I'm not going to spend much time on this because we got other things to cover but it is a three-year project. Grant started July 1st of this year. We end June 30th of 2020 that's our official end date. Those last four kits will still be in library and we won't bring those until later in 2020 because we just we really wanted to make sure everybody had those equipment as long as they can so we try to stretch it out and give it have everyone have for about 20 weeks. We were funded with an IMLS grant leadership grant for over half a million dollars by 131,000 and the Nebraska Library Commission and UNL is having to match that one to one but we're primarily matching that with staff time and we have a lot of folks here our partners our Nebraska Extension partners who's putting in a lot of staff time and many of you know those of us here at the commission but we have a lot of people working on this project. We have Holly Wolfe-Raeftoroff, Deborah Dregos, Cynthia Nye is our new hire and is our project assistant. We have Sam, Shaw, Krista, Mary Jo, I mean there's just a lot that's worked on that project and sorry if I wasn't anybody else but there's a team and an extension has a team as well. I think we do and then it is a multi-gasket project there's a lot of things going on obviously the lot 30 rural and small communities will be establishing the community action team and talk a lot more about that today. We have already purchased our equipment and components for the four rotating studios there's a few last-minute things we need to purchase but most of the main equipment is purchase and many of you saw that at our at NLA conference last week in Carney we're going to be with the help of max primarily we're going to be developing instructional materials and equipment certification processes we're going to work with you to employ sustainability strategies so you can consider permanent studios or at least some permanent equipment this is really a nice try it before you buy it type project we're going to be providing equipment training focusing on the train the trainer standard strategies so we'll be training the trainers and then your trainers will then in turn train your patrons and customers. We'll be assisting you with local marketing and programming and event planning everyone will get about 20 week hosting period they'll have open house before at the end you'll have our makers showcase you'll be doing programming in between and we'll be talking about that later and then once a year we're going to host an event or showcase in Lincoln that you can also attend. Before we move to the next slide are there any questions? I know you're having some microphone challenges but if you would just type your questions in the chat box Crystal will interrupt us and that's fine we're interruptable. Joy at CRETE does have a question and I'm not sure if you're going to talk to us later about splitting their equipment because they're doing that many makers they just want to know if Christmas holidays have been taken into account for that schedule as you don't know if she means not having it well um yes you might be closed during the holidays but yeah we've taken that into account and my legs are open but if you think you know if you think we picked a week for the swap that isn't kind of right in the middle we can visit about that and oh she means is the total time we have his equipment is it still for 11 weeks even with Christmas? Well if the library is closed during Christmas I guess that's what she means. Okay why does she lose a week because they're not? Well she can do the math we can tell her about what we're giving and when we're going to pick it up and so she can look their account. I mean I could do that and I kind of do that but 11 weeks is probably an average I don't know if it's exactly like this. And if there's some problem with the swap dates you can work those out as you go along correct because those swap dates can be slightly adjusted maybe. She says thanks no worries. Well I just want to first of all say that we we hate to give you this slide with these little tiny tiny font size on the letters but the idea of this is that we try to look at a big picture of the whole project and try to figure out what would be guiding us throughout the whole project and one of the things that we decided was that that our partners were extremely important in guiding the entire big picture and so we were we felt we needed to just list all of these wonderful partners and and what they contribute which of course is more than just this physical space but this gives you an idea of the kinds of things that that we think are are important in terms of the what will feed into the activities that are going to take place and the activities of course include instruction and in organizing and also in in terms of the evaluation and that I just might mention is one of the things that we'll be asking you to do both you and the library staff and the extension educators but also the other trainers that you recruit the other volunteers that you recruit the mentors that you recruit will be collecting information about who uses the maker space what they use it for what difference did it make in their lives and that brings us to outcome what difference does any of this make and we begin to try to think about some of the things that we will be looking at that we would say were key outcomes and of course key outcomes relate to those goals that we talked about first of all we want to be able to have people have individual experiences that they can describe and have that has an impact on their lives and in some cases that might be someone who starts a business it might be someone who pursues a career it might be you know it's a variety of different things we don't know exactly what's going to be in every community but we know that those are the kinds of outcomes we're looking for the second goal related to community outcomes and that again we're going to be looking for some community outcomes we're going to be asking you to tell us what difference did it make that you visited 20 organizations in your community and told them about this and invited them to volunteer and invited them to be a part of it how did that change the fabric of your community how did it change problems all in your community what difference did it make that you invited people into the library for a conversation about some of this and how it can be useful to the community those are the kinds of things we were we're going to be asking you to tell us and then in the long run it's on us to create materials that you can use but then can also be used by other rural libraries across the country so that's the third goal create something that's halfway useful to other libraries and they can learn from everything you've learned so i mean that's just an in a nutshell what all these little teeny tiny letters say and i bet dagan's going to talk about the milestones and dagan puts this together for us so in in planning this we really discussed about all of the things that we're asking you all specific activities that we're asking you and encouraging you to do and so we started planning this and this is a living document this isn't set in stone so this is kind of how we envision it might work and i feel like there's a lot of missing activities or things that you might do that we hadn't thought of so consider this a kind of a living document and not set in stone it's definitely a planning document so these are some of the milestones that that we thought might happen and during your implementation and so it's set in this kind of gant format so we can kind of see where some of these key things might happen so right now we're at like line five or four welcome webinar with the five libraries so we're looking at maybe t minus three weeks getting to receiving the equipment that was kind of in our plan is that we would have this webinar and so at this time you know you should be the those yellow blocks across extension educators and librarians or recruiting trainers if you have an i've already identified them um all the your cat team or your community action team should be meeting and discussing so these are things we're thinking of and so we'd ask you as well to kind of keep track of it and if we need to modify this as we go on you know we don't know what we don't know moving forward and meeting our other our other sites after this initial one so we'll need your input on the scan chart and when you do things so we're looking at looking down further at like open house and soft open software happy equipment setting it up and training your trainers and then having an opportunity to have an open house maybe that's in week two not three maybe that's right off you know we we need your feedback on that and so this hopefully just shows the scope and in some of the activities that you'll be doing within your communities yep that leads us to um community engagement and as dagan was talking and mary joe about the logic model what occurred to me is communication is going to be as important as anything with this particular project because people are going to question about what is the makerspace what's going on how do i get involved all of those kinds of things and so thinking about your communication strategy i think is going to be critical is there a place that your local library already has maybe a facebook page or a twitter feed or some sort of an online environment to share that information and that's something that you may want to consider if you don't have one already because in this world of digital communication that's going to be key to get getting the word out and so that's also working as that catalyst how do you get people involved how do you work together how do you use the talents and the strengths of the people that that are living in your community and so reaching out to those people having those kinds of conversations trying to connect what they're passionate about with the makerspace is going to be kind of fun but it's also going to be something that you're going to have to strategically think about this whole concept is really about developing a sense of community meeting people who are doing something different than you are it's also learning from each other and then the ideas and the excitement and the passion just build once we start to build that sense of community and it's just really fun to see the light bulb go off when somebody has an idea or they think that there's a way that we can do it better so that whole community engagement piece as you think about your mobile makerspace and as you think about the makerspace in your community really strategize about what the benefits are to you and to your community what does it mean to have access to all of this equipment in your community think much broader about that and develop that strong community action team who are the people who can really help you as a librarian and extension folks to be a champion for for the project and for the initiative not only as it's in the community as a temporary piece but then making that more sustainable in the future so as we think about that who is your action team and many of you have already identified some of those folks but you really need to think about five to six people having a diverse representation from many aspects of your community and what I found with our sydney create project was the chamber economic development the high school principal extension our esu representative all came together to have that conversation and believe me it's not something that is built overnight that relationship and that trust with those folks because you're going to be wanting to develop that relationship in a much stronger way it took us about three years to get to where we're at not saying that that's going to take you guys that long but we really worked at what is our mission of our makerspace what's the vision that we have for it and we've written a vision mission statement we've got a name for ourselves sydney create that may not be what you do in the mobile makerspace but it's something that as you move forward you might want to consider and we've got a little logo that we created together and so it was really a team effort and that's what that engagement that action team is all about you're going to want people who are willing to commit some time and spend some energy and to focus on not themselves but the whole vision of what this can do for your community and the folks that live there you will want to engage and collaborate with those stakeholders and really communicate with them maybe even schedule some times to visit one-on-one with those folks so that they really begin to understand what the benefits are of having that sure the equipment's really cool but what is the bigger picture of what's important and then recruit others and their organizations to serve as trainers building the capacity within your community and because it's not all about us whether we're extension or libraries it's about engaging with the rest of the community and recruiting other people to help us because if we only depend on ourselves what happens when i leave the project we can't depend on one person to make it sustainable so we're really looking at building that capacity and then work to find additional resources whether that's financial human idea kind of thing because if in fact you end up with a permanent maker space you're going to need that financial component to come along come along with it and if we're successful and these are really some really cool things that can happen there's additional monies out there but we've got to have that bigger vision in mind as we think about our community as a whole so some of the action steps that we've talked about are volunteer coordination who's going to help volunteer or who's going to coordinate when the volunteers come in who's going to work at scheduling the times for whether it's a learning circle or a training session or whatever how who's going to coordinate that and again don't depend on one person to do all that but it may be a couple of people getting people involved in the conversations people keeping keeping people engaged keeping that momentum what does that look like in your community and again it's going to be different for everybody and each community schedule regular times when you want to meet so that people know that on tuesday it becomes training tuesday or it becomes mentor monday whatever but think about a regularly scheduled time and you want to do that now so that when you get the equipment you're ready to power on and then we also need to celebrate our successes oftentimes we don't take the time to really celebrate we just move on to the next thing so you're going to want to think about at the end of the 20 weeks what does that showcase look like what does that inventors piece look like and think about that inventors fair and and being part of then the innovation studio annual fair so that community action team is probably one of the most critical pieces of all of that of all of this to really empower the people that we serve and the people that we want to engage with that because we never know when that next best widget's going to be created thanks kind i i agree the celebrating we've gotten more of that i'm going to go through this real quickly because you've got worksheets that joanne sent out to you uh sometime ago and then she we sent them again this morning but basically there's a worksheet performing your community action team and what their their roles are include helping with the open house collecting feedback getting involved with that maker showcase and exploring the options for permanent maker space and then forming a training team a separate worksheet for that again those might be slightly different people because they're their individuals with the specific skills and interests and also people who have training mentoring skills that may or may not be educators you might want to just include some educators who can teach some classes on these things but they might also be folks who have an interest in something and are willing to mentor someone else and do one-on-one um assistance to your library customers um they'll be collecting feedback they'll be providing training um the third thing that was sent out was a just a little worksheet to help you when you're planning your events just to keep things organized i know we've got a big event coming up here in uh Lincoln this weekend celebration across the books so i have a big long checklist so i know how hopeful they can be oh the templates okay we're gonna we're gonna actually go through the details on the templates and we might not do this because we don't have much time but you know those templates they're the worksheets that joanne sent out and again the event planning form looks something like this so let's talk about training the trainers i know what you want to spend some time on that yeah so we've got this upcoming next week and we had a lot of questions about this at the conference last week so i want to quickly just walk you through a rough agenda so you guys have an idea of what's going to happen at the event and then talk about some other ways that you and your community can actually learn these machines better and get some more hands-on experience so next week October 24th and 25th it'll be very similar both days where in the morning we will talk about you know some instructional materials on here's how to use this machine we're waiting for lunch for a little bit and then in the afternoon we'll have a hands-on session where you as the people participating in the event will be given you know a specific task and time to work on that machine so that you can actually get that hands-on experience the the very worst thing you can do when you're doing these trainings is take it and then walk away and not test the machine for a couple months the best way to learn is to actually get your hands dirty you know make some mistakes cut a piece of wood wrong learn so we really wanted to make sure you had time in the afternoon to practice what you just learned after next week the week of the installation when we're coming by and setting this equipment up we'll be having events at your site with the people that attended the train the trainers and then also hopefully some more people from the community to go over those pieces of equipment again and have a little more time to kind of ask some detailed questions and talk about some things that have come up and after that the people who attended both the train the trainers and then on the site event will become the new trainers for that library so you'll have all of the curriculum all the information on how to properly communicate everything you need to know about this machine to the individual users and people who are going to be using it on a regular basis as far as how you schedule those learning opportunities a lot of that is going to be up to you we've got several suggestions and kind of from my own experience what tends to work best i would say the number one item is going to be schedule trainings so every three weeks we need to have a training on the laser where we'll have people sign up you know we tend to cap it three or four maybe five or six and we're going to walk through step by step how to work that specific machine outside of that you're going to have some formal and informal interest groups that are going to come together and coalesce around those machines you know you'll see someone really gets interested in the laser and they really want to learn more about it so they take it upon themselves and you know they work with other people when they're on that individual machine so that's an example of kind of an informal group another one connie mentioned you know having a group and weekly maybe bi-weekly coming together and talking and celebrating your successes and working with each other on those specific items that's going to be a really successful way to build this community is to kind of institute you know every third Thursday of the month we're going to get together talk about what we've made on all the machines and just kind of have a make plug you know talk about what has gone well what hasn't gone well and what to work on with that group you know to better ourselves and community and that's everything i understand that one so we can move on to the next one we have a question yes i'll specifically about the next week's training um what time does the training run each day next week so Tuesday the 24th uh we're currently scheduled from 10 a.m to 5 p.m and then the next day the 25th we're scheduled from 9 a.m to 4 p.m we're going to make sure people had a little bit of buffer to travel if they needed to might be we might end at 3 on the second day was it 4th we'll sit out in a while we'll have a better agenda as far as what specific machines we're teaching when uh that way if someone from your community was really interested in one specific machine they could better schedule that themselves so uh as far as the individual components uh if you were at the convention last week you got a chance to see all of the equipment that we have and one specific thing i wanted to hit on was people were a little concerned about space we did have a ton of wall space that we were able to use last week uh and they were maybe a little concerned with not having enough at their specific library we do have four stations that will be permanently set up that'll be the 3d printer the vinyl cutter the laser cutter and the cnc router but all the other stations are going to come in totes so as someone wants to you know create a button as they want to work with another piece of equipment uh that tote can be brought out and set up on site or for a specific event that way you know you don't have to have an entire wall dedicated to this all at one time but we do have a all one sort of equipment that will walk you through every single piece of it uh but suffice to say those four are going to be the main ones as far as being permanently set up and joanne you're wanting to know from people who's going to be attending this training right right each can each of the five communities do need to let me know uh who is planning on coming those two days because we're trying to rework work our schedule so we can have small enough groups that you can learn and so you know whether we get a total of 20 people from all five libraries or 30 people might you know depend on how we rework that schedule so definitely let us know how many people are coming those two days and then we've got people here that are handling the the motel rooms and that kind of thing yes loop city and things where it will be uh we'll have rooms the others will be driving in both days because they're close enough you have a question about the uh permanent stations and i think it might be on the website but i'll ask what is the anticipated electrical load for the permanent stations ooh as far as the wattage and um so i would direct you to the website i think we have information about power consumption of each individual so let me just we'll do that after we're done with the slideshow and then we'll we'll show you where that's at but on the library commission website which is nlc.nbraska.gov if you search on innovation studios you can get straight to our innovation library innovation studios website within our website and there's a list of equipment that's all on there i'll show you that after we got chance to finish talking about this stuff and i'm sure you'll probably have more questions from x2 on that but um but i do i did send out earlier to you our consumables process information so you have that um but there's um several options for people when they're using this machines uh where they can get and how they use those consumables they can certainly bring in their own consumables so if they want to make something with their feet press i mean bring in their own t-shirts or what not um so that's one option there will be some consumables that we will say no you have to use ours for instance on our 3d printer uh there is a special kind of film up we have to use so that you may be able to bring in your phone you'll have to use ours um the again people purchase consumables from the stock that we bring will set prices on those with um that include sales tax it's very it's hardly above what we paid for them so those will be very reasonable items uh we will deal the libraries will handle the transactions of those but the rest of the library commission will submit all the sales tax for you so we're going to try to make that as easy as possible um you might want to run a probe we want to visit with local donors say for instance uh an organization you're going to have an event kids are going to come in and make t-shirts they can use our consumable stock but maybe you might want to have a local donor that says okay uh thursday night's t-shirt making thing the local banker is going to be picking up the cost of the t-shirts for that night so that's a poison option as well uh the library can also purchase consumables and either selling themselves or giving them away depending on if they got money from the community to do that um and then you can also have a consumable stock and max and i are going to are currently working on a list of things that you might want to ask people to bring in but there are some things that you probably don't want them bringing in like boards with nails or um glassware that they just can't use because they're wrong shape or sizes or whatnot so we are working scourge definitely working on that just to get that out to you and of course if somebody uh purchases a a board and just uses a little piece and leaves the rest left over then that would be free that people could pick up as well and then here's the next thing just shows uh some of the things that we have in mind in bringing you saw a lot of these consumables when you were at uh conference we plan on bringing that all to your library um and then there's some things that we just haven't quite decided like for instance on the laser cutter and the CNC router there's other things you can cut like anodized metal plastic acrylic we may be buying some of those as well but even if we don't find something and bring it if we think it's a good product for your customers to do make something with we are going to be trying to make some samples at next week's training and then also a training when we come to your community so even if we're not providing anodized metal for them to purchase on site we will have some items made out of that so they can see it and touch it and then we will always include a list of where we think they can buy this this stuff. We rushed along pretty fast but there isn't much time left but we want to stay as long as you want to stay and answer and I just have to see my map that will be at the browser and like sign boxes. Since there was a question about an electrical load and probably this will help the space too if people have space questions you can see this is the the site here on the Nebraska Library Commission website and if you go down here to do you walk up there how to get to this page from the yeah I think that's a good idea so you can't remember that. From the left hand side you'll see that grant funding the rate since we received a grant it is really under that grant funding the rate in the list but in the search menu in the top right hand side you can always type in maker space or library innovation studio and then it'll come up too so if you can't figure out how to get there it just depends some people are more search oriented library innovation studios take sure right there so here we are it's a little bit about the project you just go down here to the right side equipment and components and then then we have a list of all the different equipment so if you were wondering let's see that's one of the things it's permanent stays right where it is and we and how you we don't actually we have dimensions in the pounds but if you see that more information about the car seat and then a book we always take you right to the company where it talks about that machine and so almost everybody will have what they call a you know more information about all this so i'm sure somewhere in there well and i think if you look at you can see there's obviously a plug here right and a plug here right yeah as far as the amount of power the total amount of power we don't have on you so i would recommend if you're concerned about maybe maxing out the amount of power you can draw take a look at each of those websites the specific manufacturer because they'll list the the peak power consumption kind of in the details and as we find that we can add that to our website so we'll have the the dimensions the weight and the power that the other specifications is that where that would be it's going to vary for each you know but it could be yeah this specification we can have we'll have Craig look that up and put that on there to make that easier any other questions that you have about yeah Karen wants to know since you'll be in plant Smith in less than two weeks when will you have ready list of consumables to be donated by the public the only item remaining on that is for me to take a look and experiment a little bit with our rotary fixture for the laser so ending I can find 30 minutes this afternoon you can get it out to you this afternoon and then and you're going to want to let your community know because obviously some of you might have space issues for storage so you can look at that list and say hey we don't want people bringing in piles of wood so let's take that off list so you can adjust that list if you really are looking for certain things and really want to stay away from other things space issues or they could storm somewhere else you know right that's another possibility if you can work with the fire station or something for some storage just guessing maybe get creative well and and so a little bit along with that is any opportunity that you have to present or share to any of your organizations about the mobile maker space prior to it coming I think that would be as beneficial as well in terms of maybe somebody has some supplies that they can contribute that may not but it's just getting that word out of presenting this information that you are one of the 30 communities in the state that is hosting that and that is extremely special and take advantage of all opportunities to share that that good news yeah I would be looking at your community calendar for the next four weeks and try to attend every meeting you can find every organization that'll let you come and talk about it for a few minutes and recruit volunteers now's the time and really you can also check with your manufacturers in the community and find out what type of scrap material they have if they make something with acrylic or plastic or anodized metal or wood they might have a really nice pile little scraps and as you saw Max made name tags and other things yesterday sometimes you just need a little scrap to make something well a lot of times these cabinet shops don't want to keep those small cutoffs because they're too small for them to use and so a lot of the times they honestly go into a burn pile or in the trash and so if you know you can help them out and save them from having to strike a match they may like are there other questions before we set you free to go have lunch I don't know but um Gail Angelus just says thanks for the info can't wait to meet everyone in person to start training on equipment very good see you next week yeah and if you have any feedback from last what you saw last week at conference um you know get that out to us on whatever that feedback might be and I'll be impressed with tomorrow at five and you know I think I failed to tell Luke City when I was there that if you schedule a meeting with your committee action team I remember telling all the others that let me know when that is and I will I can call in and be on speaker phone for that meeting if they have any questions for me thanks everyone looking forward to it and thank you for being our first group the pioneers yeah
