Community Projects

I think it would be cool to choose a project that could benefit the community. This could also help get our name out, and draw more local interest.

A coworker suggested building something for Mobius Science Center. I (along with 3 friends) have actually built something for them before. I personally wouldn't want to do that for them again. I will spare you the details, but what we were initially asked to do was different than what they wanted from us in the end and all four of us that worked really hard on the project were disappointed in the end.

While it didn't work out how we hoped with Mobius, I like the idea of a project that is community focused. Perhaps we could build something for the city of Spokane. I saw that there is a trial of a new system that you can sign up to be notified via text when there are parking restrictions due to snowplowing in your area of town. While this idea has already been implemented...this is the type of project that would be fairly simple and could help the city, and potentially our group.

Learning exhibits for schools could be a possibility (or even a learning exhibit for our location to draw people in). I think an exhibit that taught about harmonics in waves would be pretty sweet.

Anyone have other ideas for community focused projects?
