Thrilled to announce that one of our very favorite guests Keri Bean will not only be on a panel again next week, but will also be helping judge the Cosplay Contest at Long Beach Comic Con and Expo! SPACE EXPO will be a part of the contest in two different categories, Best Space Themed and Best Engineering (highlighting skilled use of tech)!

Keri Bean is a systems engineer at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, CA. She currently works on the Curiosity Mars rover as a rover driver and on the Mars 2020 rover as the training lead. In her spare time, she is an active member of the R2-D2 Builder’s Club with her very own Astromech and cosplays with the Rebel Legion. She is commonly referred to as NASA Rey! If there’s anyone qualified to help judge these categories, it’s definitely Keri!

We open 2020 with another Special Guest Announcement!

Laura R. Tewksbury

As a Senior Preparator at the La Brea Tar Pits and Museum in Los Angeles, Laura works with scientific staff and a team of dedicated volunteers to excavate Pleistocene fossils (“Ice Age”, an average of 30,000 years old), on display as part of an active public exhibit. She also helps teach an annual summer Field School on site, presents research at conferences and outreach events, and is branching out to the community as the newly-created Science Communications Liasion. Her educational background is in both Biology and American Sign Language Interpreting. After being at the Tar Pits for over 13 years, Laura continues to be spoiled by the sheer quantity and quality of fossils she has the opportunity to work with and loves sharing her enthusiasm for science with people of all ages and backgrounds.

Meet Laura on Saturday, January 11th on her panel Pop Paleo: Dinosaurs and Other Extinct Creatures in Pop Culture. For tickets to Long Beach Comic Con and Expo, click here:

Saved this awesome photo to share as our last official post of 2019! Meet Ashly Jo Dishmon (aka Desert Scum), one of the amazing droid builders on our "Engineering Star Wars: Build Your Own R2" panel!

"Born and raised in the Tatooine-esque desert town of Barstow, Southern California. Droid builder/wrangler, toy photographer and multimedia hobbyist in my free time for the past few years, I can’t seem to stop making stuff! I am partial to small droids, like my Monster MSE, and customization. Star Wars is the perfect universe to work in with so many ideas to pursue, so many build methods to explore and learn. Along with my husband, we thoroughly enjoy sharing the spirit of imagination and creativity with current and future builders!"

🔧NEW GUEST ANNOUNCEMENT⚙️

Tina Bosse aka R2-RE

"I'm just a gal with a love for all things nerdy. Harry Potter, Star Wars, Dungeons and Dragons, PC MMORPGs, the list goes on. I, like most other R2 builders, started my R2 building journey at astromech.net. I first saw a “real” R2-D2 at WonderCon in Anaheim, March of 2018. By April, I had my first parts on order and my very own R2-RE was born. I’m still early in the build and a rookie in this hobby but it's been a blast!"

Meet Tina on January 12 at Long Beach Comic Con and Expo on her panel Engineering Star Wars: Build Your Own R2. Click the link below for tickets!
