My Arisia Schedule
Friday
8:30pm @ Independence: Build a Siege Engine
Staging a siege this Arisia? We've got all the craft sticks, rubber bands, and stale marshmallows you'll need! Come design your own trebuchet, mangonel, ballista, or catapult and compete with your friends!
10:00pm @ Independence: What Are Makerspaces?
Have you heard about Makerspaces and Hackerspaces, but not sure what they are? Our panelists will tell you all about these amazing institutions and their benefits to the community.
Saturday
2:30pm @ Independence: 3D Printing: What's Next?
From industrial machines to home-made RepRap machines, 3D printers are becoming more and more common. This technology is currently being used to print not only parts for models but food, guns, and potentially human organs-what will the future hold? What would a society that can fabricate nearly anything from a stored image and base materials look like? How close are we to getting there?
5:30pm @ Independence: Art Exchange Prep 1
Take some time out to sit and chat with other attendees while you create small art projects to take home, or exchange on Monday at the Maker Fair. Possibilities include Artist Trading Cards, small knitted or crocheted projects, and small jewelry projects.

Interested in turning your hobby into your profession? Come hear from our panelists who have done just that as they cover everything from raising funding to forming an LLC.
Sunday
2:30pm @ Independence: Art Exchange Prep 2

10:00pm @ Independence: The Future of Rapid Prototyping Technology
3D printers, laser cutters, CNC mills, SLS machines... As the technology improves, these tools are starting to be used for actual production, not just prototyping. Where is this trend going? Are Star Trek style replicators on their way?
...
I am only now seeing that apparently neither of my big panels will be in a room large enough for them. This is not how they were scheduled.
