What is Maker Faire?

newyork_2010_badge_200x200.jpgMAKE is a quarterly, project-based magazine, it's also a physical event series called "Maker Faire" a very popular website, a book series, a Maker SHED, a television show - but most of all, it's a community of Makers who share their projects and skills. MAKE is what-you-MAKE-it. It's a growing DIY movement of people who look at things a little differently and who just might spark the next generation of scientists, engineers and makers.

  • Get ideas for the MOUSE Squad DIY competition!
  • Kickoff your MOUSE Squad year by plugging into the greater MOUSE Squad community;
  • Participate in fun teambuilding activities;
  • Teachers, network with other MOUSE Squad coordinators and share best practices;
  • Hear about great updates to MOUSE Squad's 2010-2011 Programming;

There will be activities for coordinators and students; if you are a new school or cannot bring your students, you are still encouraged to attend!!
