SUMMARY:Burien Solar Punk Festival returning to Shark Garden on Saturday\, Aug. 10
DESCRIPTION:The second annual Burien Solar Punk Festival – a Celebration of Culture\, Technology\, and Sustainability – will be returning on Saturday\, Aug. 10\, 2024.  \nThis free event will run from Noon – 11 p.m. at the Shark Garden in Burien (map below). \nThe Burien Solar Punk Festival is a Key Tech Labs event seeking to bring technology\, art\, culture\, and community together in one place to teach us what the future could look like. \nHere’s more from organizers: \nIf there is one simple fact that may just change your thoughts on renewable power\, it’s this one. \nIn a single hour\, the amount of power from the sun that strikes the Earth is more than the entire world consumes in a year. \n“Solar Punk” is the festival theme\, which envisions a future where community and technology are integrated to create a self-sustaining system. In this event\, attendees will learn about alternative self-sustaining ways to work and power their daily lives. It is an iconic one-day event that celebrates the best of Burien and empowers the community by bringing eco-friendly businesses together to showcase what they do and connect them to the community as potential employers. Business\, Arts\, and Culture are the three most powerful drivers of community participation and engagement in Burien and the pillars upon which the festival is based. The proceeds from The Burien Solar Punk Festival will be utilized to support: Key Tech Labs Green Jobs Expo\, a Mini Job’s Fair\, a Small Business Expo\, funds for the new micro solar system\, and stipends for the youth Green Pre-Apprenticeship Program. \nAt this year’s Burien Solar Punk Festival you will see green technologies\, Like an air-to-water generator\, that creates clean drinking water out of the air. You will also see a microgrid solar system that generates energy from sunlight. We even have a farmbot which is an open-source CNC machine that will weed\, water\, and seed a garden bed all by itself. The future is now and the future is green. \nSolar Punk Festival attendees young and old will get to experience various Green Technologies. Three examples are an air to water generator\, solar microgrid system and a FarmBot. The air to water generator extracts moisture from the air and converts it into water. The solar microgrid system generates energy from the sun. The FarmBot is an open-source CNC machine that can be programmed to water\, seed and weed automatically.  Come on and join us because “The Future Is NOW and The Future is GREEN! “ \nFor more info about the event and all that will be taking place during the event visit the event webpage at www.TheBuriensolarpunkfestival.org. \nTo learn more about Key Tech Labs visit www.keytechlabs.org.
