Hey,
I got an email from Dale Dougherty, who started MAKE Magazine and the Maker Faire. He's looking for someone who would like to mentor some kids to help them make something cool for the upcoming SF Maker Faire in May. I'd be doing this, for sure!, if I were in town. But, as I'm on the East Coast through the end of the month, I thought I'd ask here, as Dale asked if anyone at NB might be into mentoring. Here's what Dale wrote me:
I've organized a mentoring meeting at TechShop
this Saturday from 10:30-1pm. We are working
with Pixar and the Exploratorium on a Young Makers
program that will involve four Saturdays at the
Exploratorium and some small groups of young makers
working with mentors to build something for Maker
Faire. I've wanted to have a discussion about how
makers can be good mentors and what we can learn
from the community about ways to engage kids in
making things. I'd love to have you join us if you can
or send someone else from NoiseBridge who might have
an interest in this subject. You've certainly done a lot
in this area. We will have a mix of teachers, makers
and others -- 30 people or so.
If you are interested, please email me off-list, and I can hook you up.
Best,
Mitch.
