 | | Meeting of the Mindstorms —Scott Holdren
|
| | | Is anyone interested in organizing a Mindstorms get-together in the Boston area? I am in Salem, and would like to see other Mindstorms creations, as well as start some competitions. It would also be great to program our rcx's to communicate with (...) (26 years ago, 7-Oct-98, to lugnet.loc.us.ma.bos)

| | | | | | When: ASAP! My question is where. I can probably find some space for a dozen or so people in Salem, but that's not very central for most.

| | | | | | I got a reply from Steve at the Construction Site. He said they are planning to coordinate some Mindstorm events, but that they are waiting until after Christmas. I'm sure they are pretty busy this time of year. They would be interested in (...) (26 years ago, 7-Oct-98, to lugnet.loc.us.ma.bos)

| | | | | | (...) Hmmm. I'm sure there are. Should we work on finding an alternate meeting place? Or did they say if they'd be open to us using their store if we did all the coordinating? They wouldn't have to give away free Lego or anything. :) (...) Well, my (...) (26 years ago, 7-Oct-98, to lugnet.loc.us.ma.bos)

| | | | | | | | Re: Meeting of the Mindstorms —Scott Holdren
|
| | | | | | I think we should look for a meeting place. They didn't sound too interested or available right now. Do you think any libraries or schools would be open to us? I'm really drawing a blank for ideas. Maybe the MIT museum? I was just there the other (...) (26 years ago, 7-Oct-98, to lugnet.loc.us.ma.bos)

They haven't ruled it out. two blocks from a commuter rail station too. If we coordinate ourselves, that'd be a big plus. (...) (26 years ago, 10-Oct-98, to lugnet.loc.us.ma.bos)
