DoES Liverpool Museum In A Box
We're going to look at creating a Museum In A Box for DoES, talking about some of the cool stuff - and people - in the space.
We want to create a list of the things that people think are worthwhile to add, so if you have any ideas, leave them here!
Well, we've already got a Museum in a Box, but it would be ace to create a collection or two to have on it along with the Smithsonian and British Museum collections that are already on it.
We'd need some 3D prints that we can stick the NFC stickers onto (the stickers are ~20mm diameter, and need a flat surface to attach to), and then a .wav file with the audio. Then we'd add them to the Introduction to DoES Liverpool collection that I've created and then I can talk you through writing the data to the tags.
There's a DoES Liverpool log in for the website, which is connected to the box sat on the bookcase of things by the front door.
Does anyone have a digital voice recorder that we can keep in the space?
It would be really useful to have the ability to ask people to record a short, maybe 20-30 second, piece explaining any items they may have on the bookcase, that we can then stick on an NFC sticker and apply to the object. Seems like it would be a quick and easy way to create the Museum of DoES.
That's a nice idea! I've got a USB microphone that I don't mind loaning to the space - maybe we could stick Audacity onto the vinyl-cutter computer and have the mic plugged into that, then it wouldn't be super hard to have people record an explanation...
Maybe include some question prompts to make it easier - "What is this?" "How did you make it?" "Where did you get the idea from for this?" (and hopefully others will have some better questions :-D)
This was brought up in the October community meeting, as it would be nice to have a set of DoES-related objects (bits of equipment maybe, or examples of things made with each of the machines) for when we're at events
