FREE WORKSHOP: "Building the Perfect Link"
TekVenture Chain Reaction Challenge 5
Saturday, March 24, 2012
2 - 4pm
 
To challenge your imagination, attend a brainstorming workshop at the Downtown ACPL, where tips and techniques will be shared to inspire your"Link" in the chain.
 
The Chain Reaction Challenge design team will be on hand to share the inspiration behind their contraption and answer questions to help you take home an award.
 
The TekVenture Chain Reaction Challenge is an introduction to TekVenture, a proposed community-built public art & technology laboratory.
 
People of all ages and backgrounds are invited to create a machine or "Link" in this annual community-based chain reaction held at the Allen County Public Library, downtown.  Make it your own project or your group of friends to build a unique contraption that fits on either a 6 foot table, or for novices a 3 foot table.  It has to have enough energy input to lift a golf ball one inch.  Your contraption will pull the string to start the next contraption to form one large Community Chain Reaction!
