Steampunk
Steampunk Meetups:
One Sunday each month, 1 to 3 PM: Gather with other steampunks at the museum, exchange stories, show off your latest projects and find what what other steampunks are up to. This month we will feature another Steampunk Swap. Bring a steampunk item you no longer need and swap it with another steampunk for something you can use. Scavenge your closets and see what you have. Its a great way to get ready for spring cleaning and find some new pieces to add to your steampunk collection.
Dates Include: 1/22/2012, 2/12/2012

Steampunk Form & Fuction II: Steampunk Form and Function Design Competition:
Applications for 2011 are no longer being excepted. Our next competition will open in August 2012.
Steampuffin’s Steampunk Form & Function Design Competition brings together outstanding Steampunk innovations, details the design process, and promotes the role of the Artist/Craftsman. All design solutions are primarily built using authentic Victorian (1850s to early 1900s) objects, salvage items, Clothing, Jewerly and antiques that incorporate modern technology. All designs have specific functions for modern day practical use.
Steampunk City!
On May 12th and 13th, 2012, citizens and visitors to the beautiful and historic city of Waltham, Massachusetts may attend a festival like no other. International Steampunk City, presented by the Charles River Museum of Industry & Innovation, is a sort of Ringling Brothers meets the Industrial Revolution event that encompasses the entire downtown area. A small “museum that could,” the Charles River Museum of Industry & Innovation is working with the City of Waltham, the Waltham West Suburban Chamber of Commerce, the Downtown Waltham Partnership, the Waltham Tourism Council, Steampuffin, and the New England Steampunk Community to create an event that blends historic Victorian sensibility with the whimsical Steampunk movement.
