The White House is hosting its own Maker Faire today! Follow the action at http://www.whitehouse.gov/maker-faire. Or join in the fun from home by posting a picture of your own creation today, using #NationOfMakers.
We signed the “Building Maker Communities” Pledge on Makezine.com to show our support for the maker movement, and you can, too! When you sign the pledge, you’ll also receive a free e-copy of the book, “Zero to Maker,” by David Lang.
The CNS Maker Team is headed to South Side Hackerspace this evening to start building the dice kit provided to us by Chicago Electronic Distributors. There will likely be making of other things, too–chainmaille from Blue Buddha Boutique, lockpicking from TOOOL, and possibly some of the gadgets we picked up from Maker Faire Bay area! Follow us on Twitter @CNSmakerfaire for updates on our projects. Or come join us tonight, starting at 7:30!
And just a reminder of the fun we had last month, here are some more pictures of the third annual Chicago Northside Mini Maker Faire. Thanks to ChiBots, the Schurz photography class, and Glowing Mood Flower for sharing!
