Looking for Technology and Engineering Presenters

Hi. This could be long but I will try to summarize.
Our School is trying to start a STEM summer program but is having trouble
funding the TE part.I was hoping that some of you wonderful
Technology/Engineers would be willing to present something cool (i.e. 3D
printing). Just an hour.
Currently the "course" is in June and goes everyday for 2 weeks. It would

DTV signal to my car's in-dash monitor

(mike perez) — Tue, 21 May 2013 19:24:09 UT

Many cars these days come with an in-dash screen/monitor for radio and
AC controls. If it is like my KIA Forte, the screen also displays a
video signal coming from a rear-mounted camera when the car is in
Reverse.

Just throwing this out there but is anything besides an DTV antenna
and matching transformer needed to display over-the-air DTV signals?

Equipment Run To San Patricio

(Black Macrame) — Mon, 20 May 2013 16:16:03 UT

Hey Guys,
I have a Floor Drill Press (totally bad ass) and a Floor Bandsaw. I am down
for donating them to the space, but I need a ride. It's outside Corpus by
about 40 miles (closer to us). So if someone is interested in a road
trip... I'll do half in gas. I might want the band saw at home, but the

Found these two at radioshack with a huge price difference. Anyone know the
reason for the price difference? They both seem to be similar size

A couple of months ago we came by and presented to the general membership
our plans for a student space exploration project and using 10BitWorks
resources to help out with the project. Unfortunately we were not able to

Thanks for you interest and enthusiasm for the project, maybe there will be

Flocking with robots - how would you do this without Mindstorm bricks?

(Don Davis) — Fri, 17 May 2013 15:23:09 UT

I've been thinking about systems thinking (e.g. flocking) and robots.
There's been some work done on this. Here's an example with Lego
Mindstorms: [link]

How would you do this without proprietary hardware? (This is
brainstorming.) Trying to keep the per unit cost as low as possible

Our CIS department got a replicator 2. I have close ties with them. Maybe we can setup some collaborative effort this summer for us to do some workshops.
