This was a forward of a pretty exiting message so I'm forwading it to all you who want to try being a TV star. A link to techshop with the directions on how to get there is at the very end of the (long) message.
Good luck!

Subject: Casting crack builders/electronics wizards for Discovery show
Hey guys,
I am currently searching for people to host a new science show called
"Prototype This" for the Discovery Channel. The show will bring
together a team of young scientists and builders who will combine
their skills and ideas to dream up, design and manufacture
technological inventions which meet some kind of everyday need or
want. The inventions could be in any field - home, work, leisure,
sport etc. The only limit is our imagination, skill set and
enthusiasm.
I'm emailing you because you have idealab/Burning Man/ILM/freaky
science/effects/weird artist/genius/T.E.D./Siggraph/Vulcan
connections. I'm also contacting universities, museums, and
organizations that combine science and art.
We're looking for at least 2 people; ideally:
1. An electronics wizard, hopefully with some building skills. Women
very welcome.
2. A crack builder. Again, women very welcome.
Or some combo thereof.
As a group, our hosts will have a wide and deep range of skills and
smarts, from robotics through mechanical engineering to electronics.
Some may have recently completed PhDs or Masters; others may have
never been near college but are brilliant and creative model makers or
builders. All candidates need to know their way around a workshop and
be able to bring more than just blue-sky thinking to the table. We
want tinkerers - people who love to build crazy stuff for the hell of
it.
The show will be very "hands on" - the entertainment will be in
watching our team battle with the problems inherent in fast-track
prototyping and overcome them to at least achieve a proof of concept
by the end of the episode. And seeing if the thing actually works.
If you think you might fit the bill or know anyone who does, please
contact me. We're looking at doing a casting session on September 25,
so time is short. Any and all ideas welcome!
Thanks,
Colette Sandstedt
Beyond Productions
