You do not need to be a member to attend these events or use our equipment to make cool things. (But there must be a member present for you to work in the space.) The Tuesday night Open Meeting (at 8:00pm every Tuesday) in particular is geared to visitors and always includes a tour of the space and a "Show & Tell" session during which we share info about the projects in progress. Anyone entering LVL1 for the first time must sign a waiver of liability. (There's a kiosk right inside the door.)

Are you looking for help/training and don't see what you need on the calendar? Feel free to ask us at any open meeting or email learn@lvl1.org and we'll assist you.

Do you want to teach a class, host a hackathon, or get together with others for some other specific purpose? Check out our Hosting Guide.

This is a free Micro Lab on Climate Change.  A micro lab is an innovative thinking pathway to help spur ideas - in this case surrounding climate change.  It is a type of brain storming session that might take less than 1 hour.  The contact person for this event is Amy Shah.

What is a micro lab?
More information at:
A micro lab is an innovative thinking pathway that can:
  • ensure equal group participation
  • build active listening skills
  • build on and develop connections to the ideas of others
What does this entail?
3-21+ people who might be willing to participate with an open mind
possibly paper or pencils/pens
timer
What is the procedure?
- pick a topic: Climate change
- get into groups of 3, designate a recorder, put cell phones on silent
- begin timing 2 minutes to brainstorm individually
- Person 1 speaks for 1-2 minutes.  If a person stops before time is up, sit in silence
- 30 seconds of silence
- Person 2 speaks for 1-2 minutes
- 30 seconds of silence
- Person 3 speaks for 1-2 minutes
- 30 seconds of silence
- 5 to 10 minutes of discussion as a small group of 3
- recorder brings ideas to the broader group during time to share
Why do I want to do this?
This is a highly innovative idea that I have heard working in other settings/countries and I wanted to try it here.  I am curious how it might work for us and what might result.  This is not being done for any broader reason besides learning about climate change and trying out a micro lab.
What's it in for those participating?
I will supply light refreshments and it might be a neat evening
