	* '''Parents w/ kids age 8-9''' were immediately ready to throw cash down to teach their kids 3d printers, but they hesitated bc it didn't look that doable for a child. These parents are actively looking to wow their children and many come from engineering backgrounds and are all upper class. I feel like I saw at least 2-3 parents like this. Of parents I personally talked to in this demographic, this was about 100% of them seemingly.		* '''Parents w/ kids age 8-9''' were immediately ready to throw cash down to teach their kids 3d printers, but they hesitated bc it didn't look that doable for a child.

	* '''Makerspaces.''' There was a makerspace that was struggling w this tension: 600 on the email list, but 40-60 ppl paying. How do they change their pricing structure to reflect involvement in the space? Can OSE contribute to making this happen on some scale? (hint: ppl use makerspaces to use tools to support projects that they're working on at home but just need occassional tools to use w/o waiting... so...inc. involvement might actually mean more access to tools at home, and focusing more on the value add of the makerspace itself, instead of being a 1 stop shop, it's a super-focused... soemthing or another, or there's outposts or something)		* '''Makerspaces.'''
