 We're planning a big outreach event which will take place on 18th October 2011, at the Imperial War Museum in Duxford. Such outreach is very important for the Makespace community, as helping engage and inspire young people is a big part of the reason we think Makespace is necessary, and hopefully it will help us reach our engagement targets set as a requirement for receiving our bootstrap funding.
-This will be a day for secondary school pupils aged 15+ to have a go at some hands-on, problem-solving engineering work, and also learn more about the engineering industry. Essayslab.com has been working in the essay writing industry for a while. Recently I have chosen them to [http://essayslab.com write my paper]. And you know what? They coped with this task very well, although it was not the easiest one. Usually I write my paper on my own, but that time I was in need of professional assistance. So this post is kind of �thank you�. Ideally the day will include a range of quality interactive engineering activities - very hands-on - as well as talks and demos. The event is being organised in collaboration with STEM TEAM and Duxford, and aims to attract at least 400 students from across the region, who are studying science/engineering/design&technology at BTEC, GCSE or A level.

 We need your help, now, in planning and designing workshops, and on the day!

-Here's the latest update on what's going on in the Makespace community, and with the space itself.
+Here's the latest update on what's going on with Makespace:
-'''Maker Faire report'''
+'''Makespace setup update'''
-In March quite a few Makespace supporters visited Newcastle for the UK Maker Faire.
+We are still pursuing space as a top priority. The old Institute for Manufacturing robot workshop on Mill Lane is our target location, and negotiations continue around that. We're going through all the processes and procedures with the University, which inevitably takes

+In less exciting news, we have got full banking set up now, including a platform to enable us to take one off and regular payments, which we are now testing. This will be useful as we start to look to membership payments down the line.
-During Cambridge Science Week, Makespace collaborated with volunteers from the Institute for Manufacturing to deliver some hands-on science and manufacturing for families. We showcased some of our hobby projects, alongside a 'Mini make it', with the idea that people can come along with ideas for inventions they'd like to make, and we can talk them through how they might go about creating a prototype, testing the idea, or modifying it to be more practical. The mini Make-it event was a great success, and you can see some of the fun in our photos [http://www.meetup.com/Makespace/photos/1319410/ over on the meetup site].
+In the meantime, we continue to help organise things ahead of Makespace existing, so here is a summary of some of the other Makespace related activities:
-'''Makespace setup update'''
+'''Maker Faire report'''
-Unfortunately our application for a Royal Academy of Engineering Ingenious outreach grant didn't get through, but we did reach the second round and it was a very competitive programme. We hope to reapply for the next round, and hope that the more advanced state we'll be in then will help.
+In March quite a few Makespace supporters visited Newcastle for the UK Maker Faire.
-We are still pursuing potential spaces as a top priority. At present the Newnham Road shop site doesn't seem such a strong prospect, but we are still hopeful about the old Institute for Manufacturing basement in Mill Lane, and negotiations continue around that.  We're limited by the speed of operation of the University though, so please bear with us. The space is extremely promising though, as a former workshop with all the space and features we need. Fingers crossed!
