Inspired by similar Segway-esque contraptions, Chris will tell us how he made his electric one-wheeler, from the electronics and motors to the custom frame construction.

Mark used his wits, enthusiasm, and CAD skills to design and build his own carbon fiber recumbent bicycle. He’ll share with us the story of its creation with photos of the design and build process, and, of course, the bike will be in attendance.
Kelly Bedson: Origami Workshop
http://www.kbedson.com/
Kelly will lead us in the fearless pursuit of folded paper. She’ll share her work with us and then teach us a few basic models.
Free Parking: Please park in the Visitor Parking garage. Take a ticket and pull in. Since this is a new complex, they haven’t bothered staffing the booth past 6pm, so your parking will be free. Ample bike parking is available right outside the 60 building (also the west-most building).
Entry: Since this is a private office building, Brandon will have to escort attendees inside, which he will do frequently before the start of the meeting. Please arrive on time so that can happen efficiently. If you arrive late or get lost, please call Brandon (602-920-8899) or Becky (347-204-4334) so we can come get you!
See you there!
