Its incredible... all of the things that this tiny, 5 letter word can make me feel. How does being a maker make you feel?

Hva er det med måker. Odd Børretzen hatet måker. Jeg kan ikke si at jeg elsker måker, men de er noen flotte fotomotiv der de svever over deg, alltid på vakt og alltid på jakt.

Once a week, I mentor Natalina to help her develop her art maker and multimedia skills. This week, we practiced Qigong, read a french poem, completed her Pataphysical Journey video and experimented with remotes to control our 'poetic robots.’ Phyllis showed her a few ways to use storytelling in multimedia.
This art maker course is coming along very well: Natalina is getting more comfortable with technology, and starting to integrate it into her art -- which is the whole point of these classes. Based on what we’re learning together, I hope to adapt some of these ideas for future courses with other students in coming months.
For our wonderbot project, we are now brainstorming ideas for our characters and their adventures, developing a story line around behaviors we can simulate (e.g.: respond to each other’s calls, approach or avoid one another). Next, we’d like to add dialog, music, sound effects, props and backdrop — and capture the best scenes on video. We think focusing on the art for a while is the right direction for now, with the tech supporting the magical experience we seek to create.

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.
The original Maker Faire was held in San Mateo, CA and in 2013 celebrated its eighth annual Bay Area event with some 900 makers and 120,000 people in attendance. World Maker Faire New York, the other flagship event, has grown in four years to 600+ makers and 75,000 attendees. Detroit, Kansas City, Rome, Oslo, Tokyo, Newcastle (UK), and Shenzhen are the home of "featured" 2014 Maker Faires (200+ makers), and almost 100 community-driven, independently organized Mini Maker Faires are now being produced around the United States and the world, including right here in Portland.

An event to celebrate crafts, engineering, science projects, etc. For and by all ages.All of these “makers” come to Maker Faire to show what they have made and to share what they have learned. Maker Faire is primarily designed to be forward-looking, showcasing makers who are exploring new forms and new technologies.

We had a blast at the first meetup for Tam Makers, our new makerspace in Mill Valley. We hosted this free event at the wood shop at Tamalpais High School in Mill Valley on June 8, 2016.
A diverse group of people came to the visit the shop, learn about our classes and discuss how to grow our maker community. Participants ranged from experienced artists, technologists, makers and woodworkers, to people interested in learning new skills, as well as high school and middle school students and their parents.
We opened the shop at 6pm and folks started to connect right away, checking out some of our demos, showing off recent projects and touring the space. At 7pm, we gave a presentation on Tam Makers, and talked about our first courses, meetups and tools for adults and youth. We then discussed these programs as a group and received some really helpful feedback.
Most people were very interested in participating in Tam Makers and using the makerspace regularly. They also liked the mix of classes, ranging from maker art to technology and woodworking. Some people signed up for classes on the spot and most wanted to join more meetups. Many offered to volunteer as well. One person said this event had a great community feeling, unlike more commercially motivated makerspaces.
We’re really happy that this first meetup went so well and that so many folks want to participate actively. We look forward to collaborating with our new maker friends very soon!
