Community Participation
We should offer presentations at the meetings of other community groups and be prepared to do joint projects with other groups in our community. Joint projects are a great way to benefit both groups while getting good publicity.
Groups for potential presentations
- PechaKucha - 20x20 mini presentations: last 20 seconds and includes 20 images. Presentations must be about something a person or group has created or made (this is ideal for a maker space!)
- Ignite Dallas - 5x20: last 5 minutes and includes 20 images. This is sort of a commercial version of the community-based Pecha-Kucha. We were turned down for a presentation on the Makerspace itself but they indicated they might a accept presentation about one of our projects.
- Spark Club - mostly for social entreprenuerial networking among community leaders but there are usually one or two presentations at each meeting from a community group.
- TEDxSMU - 3 to 18 minutes slots available. Our presentation should be on a project not about our group itself. [must be nominated]. This is our local TED, a very high profile event based around the idea of world-changing innovation.
