If I haven't yet told you, I'm a Maker. I make things. I love to learn through doing, with a plus, plus behind it. And finally there's a name for it. Making.
This Summer, Maker Media has put together a virtual and physical camp called Maker Camp. I told them I wanted to host a camp site, and they sent me a giant box of goodies to help me get started. Arduino and thermal inks and Raspberry Pi, OH MY! Several other locations around the country are designated Super Affiliate sites and have probably already received their packages.
But... there are other things to find and some tools and expertise to locate. So... Long Beach... the Cultural Alliance and I are hosting our very own Maker Camp Scavenger Hunt! And we're hoping you will help us to locate the things we need, or volunteer your expertise for the program!
It's a drop in camp, so please feel free to bring the kids by! Eleven and under must be accompanied.
