Part IV - Narrative Description of Your Activities

HIVE13 is a collaborative charitable, educational, and scientific organization. We are organized to provide a physical "makerspace" (also known as a "creative space" or "hackerspace") where people with common interests (such as science, technology, digital, mechanical, and electrical art) can meet, socialize, and collaborate. We strive to provide an open community lab/workshop/studio where people of diverse backgrounds can come together (or network) to share knowledge and resources for the purpose of learning and making things.

Since our formation as Sad Bee, Inc. on 06/18/2009, our organization, also known as "HIVE13" (pronounced "Hive-One-Three" as a take-off from the Cincinnati telephone area code "513"), has rented a 3,500 sq.ft. physical lab/studio space at 2929 Spring Grove Avenue in the Camp Washington neighborhood within Cincinnati, Ohio USA. This space is open to members 24x7 to work on individual or group projects. We hold weekly meetings, providing presentations and lectures on specific topics of group interest for the purposes of learning and sharing. We also provide social activities within this space including games and parties.

Our members are a diverse group of college undergraduate students, graduate students, college drop-outs, college graduates, small-business owners, technical employees at area technology companies, unemployed individuals between jobs, and retirees. The common thread is an interest in a broad range of technologies.

The following paragraphs provide specific samples of our past, present, and planned activates:

Sample Activity – "Five Minutes of Fame" This activity is part of our regular weekly meeting on Tuesday nights. Volunteers from the group membership or invited guests give a short speech or brief presentation on a form of "show-and-tell" on a specific technology or project. • One recent example was a demonstration of an Etch-a-Sketch modified with motors on the two control knobs and connected to a computer that would automatically draw the graphic picture displayed on the computer. • A second example was a member's talk on his home-built CNC (computer numerically controlled) milling machine. • A third example was an invited guest who talked about his small business which uses a laser engraving machine to make craft products. These presentations serve to spawn interest in forming future collaborations on related technology projects, such as described in the next activity.

Sample Activity – "Makerbot Mondays" A member owns a tabletop 3-D printing machine known as a "Makerbot". He keeps this machine in the shared studio. The machine extrudes molten plastic under computer control onto a moving build stage to fabricate a variety of small (6" x 6" x 6") plastic parts as complete 3-D shapes. This group of members and enthusiasts meet on Monday nights, typically for 3 to 5 hours per week, to operate the machine to make parts and learn 3-D printing technology. This group interacts with other similar "Makerbot" groups around the country.

Sample Activity - "Python Class" In this case, "Python" is a new programming language. Several members of the group have assorted experience working with this programming language, and other members of the group have an interest to learn more about the specifics of this language. The knowledgeable members volunteered to conduct several informal (unpaid) classes, lasting 1 to 2 hours, which were attended by the group of interested members. A similar informal series of classes was conducted on a different software program called "Blender" with a different group.

Sample Activity - "Arcade Night" One member operates a small business to restore vintage arcade video games such as "Pac-Man", "Asteroid", and "Frogger", often replacing the original electronics with new computer hardware. He has donated to maintain several of these game consoles in the studio space. On arcade nights, approximately every other month, the members who are video gaming enthusiasts meet to socialize, play these games, and discuss various collaborations on future gaming projects.

Sample Activity - "Soldering Class" A member, who is an electrical engineer, has volunteered to teach a class in soldering skills. A small project was identified to make "Minty-boosts". These are small USB-device battery pack extenders for cell phones, i-pods, etc. There is a nominal charge to each registered student ($40.00) to make a group purchase of component materials; circuit board, resistors, capacitors, batteries, etc. Each student then learns to solder by building their own individual minty-boost during the 2-hour class.

Sample Activity - "Assorted Projects" Different informal groups of members band together on assorted project efforts. Two members have assembled autonomous vehicles using remote control model cars. A group is building a Do-It-Yourself (DIY) CNC machine. This project has branched into an effort to design and build the electronic circuit boards that drive the stepping motors on this and similar machines. Another member is leading an effort to construct an aluminum foundry. Another member leads an effort to remove the gasoline engine from a motorcycle and replace it with a battery powered electric motor and drive train. Additional projects include an ATX power kit, a bioreactor, an HHO generator, and glass block LED matrix. Members typically spend 2 to 8 hours per week on different projects.

Sample Activity - "Field Trips" The group has scheduled several volunteer field trips. One trip was a Saturday visit to a large electronic store in nearby Dayton, Ohio. Another trip was to see a model show at a large indoor model railroad called EnterTRAINment Junction. There are several national conventions within the "maker" community and the group plans to attend and participate in future events such as the MakerFaire in Detroit, in August 2010.

Since inception back in June 2009, the group has been stable and has grown. We are starting to get some publicity within Cincinnati and are attracting new members. We are slightly ahead each month from a financial stand point. That is, the income from membership dues and limited fundraising (door prize raffle at a recent party, proceeds from the on-site vending machine, etc.) are covering the expenses of the building rent and insurance costs. Going forward, with increasing membership, we anticipate expanding this positive cash flow to enable voting to fund acquiring the Makerbot and various pieces of shop equipment and to have proceeds to apply to larger scale group projects.
