The best teachers show you where to look...
 
 
 
 
Greetings Maker!
 
“The best teachers show you where to look, not what you should see.” We ran across that quote the other day, and it struck us that our job here at Make: is a lot like that. Our mission is to create more Makers, and to share the resources, information and participation opportunities that'll help you make more, better. That's the way we look at our role in the Maker Movement.
 
And here's the thing — the Maker Movement is YOU, and the cool things you're doing. So here's what we're gonna do: on the regular, this newsletter will pop you news and information from around the Maker Movement, showing off YOUR stories, YOUR projects, YOUR awesomeness. Because if you got inspired by your making, chances are somebody else will too.
 
Sound good? OK, let's do this.
 
Summer is a great time to be making ... the kids are out of school, and they need projects. So how about making something with them? We're here to help. On our Summer of Making page, we've collected project how-to's, books on making, heartwarming young Maker stories, and a list of upcoming Maker Faires to hit so you can get inspired and start making fun stuff with kids today! Check 'em out, get making, and tell us about it!
 
 
Get Making!
