Join the Planning
Committee for this year's SWE booth at Maker Faire Detroit! In the past, we
have made "slime" out of borax and white glue, and held a
bridge-building competition with straws and straight pins. The time
commitment is expected to be 1-2 meetings, to design outreach materials, build
displays, and plan the activity.
If you're interested
in getting involved, please RSVP to swemakerfaire@gmail.com and
fill out the following scheduling poll: http://doodle.com/9qnt36zmz3sy8x8w
We are especially looking for those who would be interested in
learning the role/responsibilities of the SWE Detroit lead for Maker Faire, to
continue SWE’s participation at this special event in future years.
P.S. You don't
need to be available for the Faire on July 25-26 to participate in
the planning!
What is Maker Faire? Well
I’m glad you asked! Maker Faire is an award winning, family
friendly event celebrating technology, education, science, arts, crafts,
engineering, food, sustainability, and more. Maker Faire has become part of
pop-culture, a place for experiential marketing, debuting new technologies and
inventions, and celebrating geekdom. Maker Faire is
the Greatest Show (and Tell) on Earth—a family-friendly showcase of invention,
creativity and resourcefulness, and a celebration of the Maker Movement.
It’s a place where people show what they are making, and share what they are
learning. Makers range from tech enthusiasts to crafters to homesteaders to
scientists to garage tinkerers. They are of all ages and backgrounds. The
aim of Maker Faire is to entertain, inform, connect and grow this community. http://www.makerfairedetroit.com/
