Join us for an interactive discussion about how communities can work together to support young makers! We'll provide the post-it notes, colored pens, and tables, you provide the ideas!
The mission of the Maker Education Initiative is to create more opportunities for young people to make, and, by making, build confidence, foster creativity, and spark interest in science, technology, engineering, math, the arts—and learning as a whole.
Jeff Sturges loves making things, connecting people, and eating at potluck dinners. Inspired by his experience the MIT Fab Lab GreenFab program and the NYCResistor hackerspace, he moved to Detroit to build community workshops such as the Mt Elliott Makerspace and OmniCorpDetroit. Jeff believes that collaborative making and learning can be much more than just STEM and STEAM "education." It can be a way to strengthen ourselves and our communities. Jeff believes that by building more community workshops, We the People will make make things better.
