Make something out of the Mini Maker Faire on June 8
Artists, crafters, builders and techies, activate! The Mini Maker Faire on June 8 is your chance. Excerpt: A "maker" can be a lot of different things. A tech geek builds robots. An enthusiast builds a ham radio. An artist creates something brand new out of recycled objects. People enjoy all sorts of DIY pursuits. The common thread is the impulse to flex creative muscles, invent, and produce. "I think the maker movement is broad enough to encompass all of it," says Emily Puckett Rodgers, a spokesperson for the A2 Geeks and their 5th annual Mini Maker Faire. This year dozens of exhibitors, a lineup of speakers, and thousands of event attendees will convene at Washtenaw Community College's Morris Lawrence Building on June 8. More here.
