We have a home!

The Old Green Machines project got a new home today in the currently unused wood shop at Skyline. Two students from the club braved the fumes and took these pictures. As you can see, the shop has recently been used to store a whole bunch of stuff. Besides all the gas engines from the small engines classes of the past, there's just a lot of stuff all over the shop that got put there for one reason or another. Kind of like a coffee table that collects a pile of ... stuff.

We love it. There are six large tables in there that we will be able to use and keep set up while we work on various OGM projects. Two of the tables will soon be used to get older (but not too old) computers up and running for a community outreach project. The other four will be for the "factory" of the OGM project: testing, fixing, dissecting, and reusing all sorts of things that otherwise would have been sent to the landfill.

We have contacted nearby Ecocycle in an attempt to form a partnership to help educate people about electronic waste. It also looks as if St. Vrain Valley MESA will be supporting our program, although we need to work out the details on that. We will post updates here as they occur.
