			* Artscape: Friday, July 16 to Sunday July 18

	==~~Questions from the application~~==		==What==
			A some combination of the below seems like a good idea to me. [[User:Kellyegan\|Kellyegan]]

	~~Here is a transcription from their pdf~~: ~~Possible answers in bold.~~		===Workshops===
			Some possible ideas:
			* '''Basic soldering demos''' - simple kits possibly
			* '''Arduino''' - to involved for walkin type crowd?
			* '''DIY''' - maybe something other than just electronics/programming
			* '''Stomp(air compressor) rockets'''

	===~~1. Basic information~~ ===		===Member projects===
	~~This is just info about the org. Can be filled in when the application is turned in.~~		Sort of a show and tell where members either are working on or display current/past projects
			* Processing?
			* Games?

	===~~2. Describe your organization~~===		===Group project===
			This might be something like a mechanical burrito maker. Something big enough that it could be worked on throughout day/weekend. Hopefully a nice attention getter.

	~~The Baltimore Node is a member~~-~~run organization where people~~ can ~~learn~~, craft and build in a supportive and collaborative environment. Our members come from all walks of life, but include, educators, engineers, musicians, scientists, artists and programmers. The Node follows the hackerspace model that is flourishing in cities around the world, including New York, Chicago, San Francisco, Berlin, Sydney, and many more. While each hackerspace is an autonomous organization most show a ~~common interest in learning new things~~, ~~sharing what you know and using that knowledge~~ to ~~create new and wonderful things~~.		===Other activities===
			* '''Other hackerspaces''' - We can add expertise, attract a wider audience, help other hackerspaces if we invite our neighbor groups to participate.
			* '''Chill lounge'''

	~~Baltimore Node Corporation seeks to create and sustain an environment that promotes the creative use of technology for the benefit of art, science and culture.~~

	===~~3. Please describe your educational arts experience for children in detail. Be sure to include what the children will learn and/or take away.~~===		===Other details===
			* Permits for the street? - I wonder if we can get away with not worrying to hard about this one?
	~~As part of~~ the ~~Node's support of the creative use of technology and engineering,~~ we ~~would like to construct a Rube-Goldberg inspired machine. As with the cartoonist's diagrams the device is more interesting as a matter of process than as a solution to a given problem. Such devices~~ can serve as simple lessons in basic physics, in creative use of materials, and in understanding the world around us. While simplicity may often be desirable in our everyday life such experiments in excessive complexity can inspire both adults and children to look at things around us anew. The use of such devices as educational tools and in the arts has a long history.

	To encourage visitors to begin their own exploration of science and technology as a tool for creativity, we would provide, free of charge, a simple circuit or paper physics project that could be constructed in a few minutes by a child with ~~the help of our volunteers and parents. This projects would of course be very inexpensive but would hopefully give visitors the courage to keep building and to see technology~~ not ~~just as something you buy but something you too can create.~~

	~~===4. How else will you use your space? (Example: recruit volunteers or members, inform the public of your organization's programs, promote new shows, etc.)===~~

	~~We would of course the opportunity~~ to ~~answer peoples questions~~ about ~~what we do, how you can become a member, promote upcoming workshops and events and to hand out free promotional material such as stickers.~~

	~~===5. Are you planning to sell any items or merchandise related to your organization~~?~~===~~

	~~We currently don't have much in the way of merchandise but could possibly have t-shirt by summer that we may wish to sell.~~

	~~===6. Indicate the number of 10'x10' spaces you wish to request.===~~

	We could use a few as one 10 x 10 space but since a contraption like the one we hope to build improve with the space it has, we would ideally have two 10 x 10 spaces to allow for a more interesting device.
