October Meeting - Tour of Ameren Renewable Energy Center

The Maryland Heights Renewable Energy Center runs on a simple principle - taking something nobody wants, decomposing trash, and turning it into something everybody needs, reliable, environmentally-responsible electricity. This facility is one of the largest landfill gas-to-electricity generating energy centers in the United States.

Ameren Missouri has invested millions of dollars in state-of-the-art turbine technology to efficiently generate approximately 15 megawatts (MW) of renewable electricity by burning a landfill gas - methane - that was previously wasted. That's enough energy to power 10,000 average Missouri homes. Methane is a renewable resource unlike any other. It is available as a fuel 24 hours a day regardless of weather or other conditions, making landfill gas generation a safe, reliable energy source for decades to come.

September Meeting - What is a Maker?

September Meeting

Please join us on September 18th for a meeting to learn and discuss one of the largest educational movements of this decade.

What is a Maker?
There is an international movement of DIYs, tinkerers,
and inventors that is sweeping across the globe. But
where did it come from, how is it different from the
Popular Mechanic subscribers from the past, and what
impact does it have on tech culture as a whole?
Members of St. Louis' own Makerspace, the Arch
Reactor, will present on these topics and answer
questions on the subject. After the meeting, there will
be a tour of the Arch Reactor for anyone that would
like to get a closer look.
