Project Update: Humans vs. Strawberries accepted!, FamiLAB meeting open to the public

Intellectual synergy and playful science banter was abound when we got together this past weekend to write up our proposal as per Mr. Dave Casey's suggestion. Here's our short summary: We will build a DNA gel electrophoresis chamber from common materials and demonstrate the visualization of DNA and the differences in human and strawberry genetics.

We have carefully reviewed all of the proposals for Orlando Mini Maker Faire 2013 and have selected Genetic Analysis in a Box to appear as an exhibit!

In the coming weeks you'll start receiving information on:
- Maker Agreements
- How to make a Maker Faire booth
- Fee payment information for those selling products at the event

Other news includes having a meeting at FamiLAB to discuss our group, our mission, and the idea of starting a biohackerspace around UCF. This will be open to current FamiLAB members who are interested in the bio side of hacking, UCF students who want to get in on the hackerspace movement, and anyone in the general public who want to know what all of this is about and get involved!

Everyone is welcome!
What: Meeting to discuss biohacking in Central Florida
When: Sunday, August 4th, 4pm
Where: FamiLAB
1355 Bennett Drive
Longwood, FL 32750
Unit 129

Bonus! Gordon Hollingworth, the Director of Engineering for the Raspberry Pi Foundation, will be in town for a meet-and-greet, show-and-tell Open Make at FamiLAB, and will be present at our meeting.
