If you would like to be involved in this event please let me know or message Justin on meetup.

Link to the original meetup:

We need people to help with the following:

  1. Instructing the kids how to assemble the hands.
  2. Loking for women to be on a STEM discussion panel that happens after the hand building.
  3. Need makers that can print the hands ahead of the event for the girls to assemble.

Justin would like to use this event to fundraise to open up a small non profit STEM education center for kids. If you have fundraising experience you can contact him as well through the Central Austin Makerspace meetup.

Here are some links and videos to learn more about the e-Nable community and 3D printed hands.
