World Maker Faire 2012

“World Maker Faire, at the New York Hall of Science (NYSCI) in Queens, N.Y., on Saturday, Sept. 29 and Sunday, Sept. 30, is excited to announce a special pavilion focused on Young Makers. Whether a clever creation or a product almost market-ready, these under-18 makers will present their latest projects illustrating the depth of talent and innovation that lies within the next generation.”We are all makers, particularly young people,” said Dale Dougherty, founder of MAKE magazine and co-creator of Maker Faire. “Kids learn by doing and when they’re making something, they’re having fun and learning. More opportunities need to be made available to students to make — whatever it is they want to make. Getting kids making is critical to their development as well as the future of innovation in our nation. Maker Faire is proud to provide many opportunities for young makers, enabling them to explore their creativity and ingenuity and then showcase their creations.” More
