Storage reference for potential future outdoor community outreach events.
Overview
Ace Makerspace previously participated in outdoor community outreach events, including Oakland First Fridays (Discontinued 2024), where we hosted hands-on art activities, shared information about Ace, and engaged with the local community.
We are no longer regularly participating in these events, but the materials and equipment used for outreach have been retained in storage in case we decide to restart outdoor outreach in the future.
This post documents where those materials are currently stored so members can locate them without having to reconstruct the original event setup process.
Storage Locations
Suite 206 – Mezzanine Storage
Most of the former outdoor outreach event bins are stored in the Mezzanine Storage and require the use of a ladder to be reached.
Look here for the majority of the materials and equipment previously used for outdoor events.
Suite 214 – Art Area
Some activity-specific supplies have been relocated for use by members.
In particular:
- Button-making supplies and related materials.
Check the Art area if you are looking for activity supplies that aren’t with the main event bins.
Future Reuse / Reviving Outdoor Outreach
If Ace decides to participate in outdoor community events again:
- Start by locating the event bins in Suite 206.
- Check Suite 214 for button-making and other activity-specific supplies.
- Inventory the materials to determine what is still usable and what needs replenishing.
- Review the archived Oakland First Fridays documentation for historical event-planning information and setup procedures.

Notes
- These materials are retained for potential future outreach, not because Ace currently has an active commitment to Oakland First Fridays.
- Storage locations may change as space is reorganized.
- If materials are moved, please update this post so future members can find them.
- Before borrowing, repurposing, or reorganizing the bins, consider whether the materials should remain available for future community outreach.
