What Inspired You to Make This?
I came to my first MakerFaire a number of years ago and wanted to immediately be a part of it! I feel with the entity we are that it is our responsibility to be there as making is ... what we do! We love meeting and inspiring kids to show them what is possible to make, and how it can be made, and the career paths it takes to get there.
