Urban farmer and food maker, Michelle visited Steamhead again later in the year, working on new projects looking at building community at SH.
– With some friends of SH, she organised an arcade game jam that saw several maker enthusiasts hack on spontaneous game ideas over 54 hours of madcap fun.
– coordinated talents and participants from UNLEASH for several prototyping visits at SH
– Continued ‘sprucing’ up the WC with a disco light
– Placed tape on wall in random positions: Wall art, or not?
Resident Outcomes
With this residency period, it’s about learning to think creatively with blank walls and canvases, and about building diverse communities – dealing with messy dynamics and all. She hopes to share the lessons on community building, and its rewards: being able to grow and learn together in a collaborative environment, where individuals are able to bring their unique perspectives to the table and enrich the conversation.

These NFC powered lights adorn the SteamHead door. Check out the upclose photo of the circuit!
No batteries, just a way of collecting the power from the NFC signal. Now that we are looking at it here, there must be another circuit on the back of the flexible PCB…
Anyone up for development on this?! would love to see how much it can be hacked!

The Type A printer at SteamHead is working great, here is our test print. We pulled the printer out from the previous “3D printer room” and have it setup and ready to use for Arcade Jam.
This is a huge 3D printer, I’m curious to see what the visiting hackers will come up with for it, and if a 30 hour print job can really be completed without any problems.
