> How did you get to see the Caltech makerspaces if you weren’t a student? I'm having a hard time looking for anything related to it Online, but honestly I was just walking the campus the day they were showing off some of the stuff they made. I was in Pasadena for am unrelated meetup, and decided to just tour the campus as they had put in the sustainability building and wanted to see if JPL was doing anything on campus that day. And when I got there I just saw them showing off several things: one was a body suit that had turn signals built into it for bicycle riders, the other was a set of gloves that interpreted the hand movements in sign language to speech. I asked about it any they didn't specifically mention it was a student only event, and told me to look up online for the next one. I might have even gotten a link to one of their slack channels on an old phone if I recall correctly. I had also been a regular at the hackathons at CU Boulder for a few years as a non-student as I first saw it advertised on a flyer when I worked out of the Aerospace department during my startup days and just walked in. Years later when I was at IBM's blockchain lab I even introduced a team from Stanford working on a blockchain based verifiable fund spending audit solution for charities to the Crytpo based guys who eventually won the main prize, that was way more than the all the rest. I still have their picture somewhere as they asked me to take it for them when they won, it was a very cool day! So to answer you question: I don't know, these things just randomly happen when I'm around and no one has ever told me 'no' so I just keep doing it.
