The Motor City Maker Faire is an annual DIY tech and crafting festival at the Henry Ford. The exhibits range from goofy to useful: from a life-size game of Mousetrap, to do-it-yourself 3D prototyping - but either way there's a lot of science and engineering in evidence, and a great opportunity for SWE outreach. Last year's SWE booth was a great success with lots of interest from kids, parents, and teachers - we even won a MakerBot Industries "Awesome Award."
We're still looking for more volunteers to help host our booth. This includes talking to kids/parents/teachers/prospective members about SWE and engineering careers, running a slime-making activity and scavenger hunt, and selling SWE swag. Booth volunteers who work a minimum shift will receive free one-day admission to the Faire, compliments of SWE and The Henry Ford.
To volunteer, please let us know your availability via the following Doodle link by July 15:

Finally, if you're an electronics or mechanical hobbyist, and you have something you've made that you're willing to show off under SWE's banner, please contact me!
