Linda Hall Library’s Post

Another step closer to establishing this national register district.

Our second Q&A post of 2024: Answers to all the questions.

From the vault, check out this article from Dr. Patrick Egan on how our view of children has changed in history, and what the Renaissance has to do with the personhood of children. https://buff.ly/3BP9ABn

🌟 My oldest daughter is at it again! 💜 It's inspiring to see young people stepping up and making a difference. Joining a board isn't just for those with decades of experience. Talk to your teens and 20-somethings about their passions and how they feel they can make an impact. There's always a junior board or associate board hungry for your children's creative minds. 💡 #NextGenLeaders #YouthEmpowerment #BoardService #Leadership #MakingAnImpact #CreativeMinds #JuniorBoard #AssociateBoard

Here's something fun for next weekend at the Library! Circuit-bent kids toys, tape machines, retro synths through guitar pedals, along with other oddities such as solar panels, nabbed from broken garden lamps that become audio oscillators when mashed together with computer fans and bike lights - built upon the works of my buddy Adam Ben-Dror. Anyone working in education or with a passion for city planning is welcome to stop by for a chat about ways that STEAM projects and creative spaces, with collaboration and connectivity across Dunedin, could be provided to people of all socioeconomic backgrounds both easily and affordably by harnessing resources that are lost via waste streams. The e-waste world is full of musical items that provide a tangible and engaging link to the principles of physics, electronics and engineering. A motor from a tape machine demonstrates gear reduction, the copper wire pulled out of the motor and rewound can demonstrate electromagnetism, which taped to a piece of paper and connected to an amplifier shows how electromagnetism transforms electricity into sound waves.. and so on. The hugely popular MakeRoom Wellington, where I used to work, have been lightyears ahead on all of this 👏 👏 👏 Although they give 110% every day, as well as a large portion of their family home to make it work and have almost no holidays, I've witnessed how incredibly challenging it has been to upscale and achieve wider acknowledgement and recognition under their own steam. It's a difficult one to unpack why it's like this, or how such a brilliant example can continue to fly under the radar of those in a position to support and enact greater change. In saying all of that, thanks to the Dunedin City Council Waste Minimalisation funding team for their support with this project and I'm really looking forward to updates on the upcoming waste plan!

Some wise words from our Santa at Omnistruct. All organizations are facing threats everyday. The first step in fighting those threats is knowing the strength of your IT systems and business process. We can help. Reach out. We are here to help. Even if its just a conversation. That is a step in the right direction. Merry Christmas Everyone and thanks to John Riley for sharing! #Audits,#Omnsitruct,#Gapanalysis,#readninessassessments,#Riskmanagment
