i3Detroit Call for Teachers: Great Global Hackerspace Challenge 2011
The Great Global Hackerspace Challenge is on!
i3Detroit is a hackerspace in Metro Detroit. We are participating in this year’s challenge. Help us think up, build, and test an invention to help teachers overcome a common educational challenge, no matter how big or small, focused or general.
If you have an idea that can help educators and are interested in helping us, please reach out: contact@i3detroit.com
If you are a teacher or educator and would like to help, but don’t have the time to reach out, you can still contribute! Take five minutes and fill out this brief survey. If you can give us even a little insight into the challenges and success stories you experience as a teacher, we’d be quite grateful.
Learn more about the challenge itself at:

It’s official. i3 Detroit has completed our set of basic welding technologies. We started with Arc, MIG & Gas but now we have TIG. It’s an epic machine that supports both AC & DC and is built like a tank. In fact, it was used by the military back in the day. It even has instructions on how to destroy it should your base fall into enemy hands…AWESOME. Should the day come that OCD invades i3 Detroit, they may take our land, but they will never take our TIG welder.
Classes to come once we figure out how the heck to work it. Experienced TIG welders are more than welcome to show us n00bs a thing or two.
