[Swansea Hackspace] Instructables Makerspace Contest

[Jon Pitans]

Hi all,

Has anyone else seen this Makerspace contest on instructables?

http://www.instructables.com/contest/makerspace2017/

Its a team contest where members of a team post their projects and the team
with the most featured projects 12 weeks from now and the prizes are big -
$50k worth of tools altogether so real potential for some cool new toys for
Hackspace. Maximum team size is 20 and I can't see any reason not to try to
pull together the maximum team size as its a case of churning out as many
projects as possible over 12 weeks. There are only 9 other teams registered
at the moment and 4 top team prizes as well as a number of individual
prizes so decent odds of winning something at the moment. I'd say an
average intructables contest gets 300ish entries so extrapolate from that
what you will. Also every team that enters and posts more than 15 featured
instructables wins a Dremel butane powered soldering iron so it really is a
no brainer.

I post projects on instructables regularly as I am sure some of you do

all my projects to date have been featured, various front page and
newsletter features and I have even had a couple of runner up prizes in
contests so I have a decent idea how to write up a project and get it
featured. That being said I'd be happy to give a short workshop one evening
to anyone interested in forming a team or of course if there are any
instructables gurus amongst you I'm happy to defer to your greater
knowledge.

Message back if you want to get involved.

Jon
