Bricks By The Bay 2012 is looking for LEGO-related talks, roundtables, and
special activities for the Convention, taking place March 16 -18 in Santa Clara,
CA. Going to and putting on sessions are one of the things that makes a Lego
convention fun.

Past talks have included publishing LEGO-related books, Using RCX bricks to
control motorized models, using LEGO Mindstorms in the classroom, among many
others. Roundtables, or moderated discussions, have included Planning for the
NMRA convention, discussions about publishing BrickJournal, and creating LEGO
sculptures.

Possible ideas include:

    Steampunk LEGO Creations
    An Introduction to LDraw and related programs
    An Introduction to Lego Digital Designer
    Packing models for shipping without breaking
    De-yellowing Bricks
    Lego Plans on eReaders and the iPad
    LEGO at Burning Man
    Building Big – skyscrapers and other large buildings
    Bricklink — An Average Seller’s Perspective
    FIRST LEGO League
    Collecting Rare Elements
    LEGO Pirates Roundtable
    Steam Locomotive Design Techniques
    SNOT techniques
    Half-Plate offsets
    Microscale building
    Sorting & Storing Roundtable

All we need for more talks, roundtables, and activities are ideas and people to
run with them. A projector and screen for your computer will be available.

Anyone who would like to run a presentation or activity should e-mail proposals
or questions to Paul Sinasohn (singlow AT gmail DOT com—please mention Bricks By
The Bay in the subject). If possible, please include a possible title, brief
description for the event program, and any time constraints or facility
requirements. Events are typically scheduled to run up to sixty minutes but can
be scheduled for more or less time.

I need proposals by February 26 to have time to prepare the schedule and the
program. Earlier is better. All presenters must register for the full
convention.

Bricks by the Bay is an annual Lego hobbyist convention and exposition in the
Dan Francisco Bay Area. Bricks by the Bay 2012 will take place March 16 – 18,
2012, at the Hyatt Regency Santa Clara. For more information or to register
