Dear Teach: Makin Things!

Hi Boys and Girls,

I bet many of you enjoy making things. Using your hands, experimenting with trinkets and the like. Well, now it is official, the Maker Faire is at your finger tips! Here's a great place to come and watch, participate, and just have a blast!

What do you think these two boys are making?

So what ever you have been doing, keep doing it, just like sleeping, or eating, or breathing. It's good for you. And guess what, you don't ever get enough of it. Never! No, not even in school! Imagine doing that all day long: Making something, each and everyday! What would you make? What would it look like, would it be the same one month later? Who would benefit most from it? How could you improve it? In case you are wondering, it is the Maker Faire.

Maker Faire is the Greatest Show (and Tell) on Earth—a family-friendly festival of invention, creativity and resourcefulness, and a celebration of the Maker movement. Just imagine if Leonardo Da Vinci hadn't tinkered, we wouldn't have the helicopter, or the parachute, or more!

Check it out right here:

Well, if you think that was cool, what are your thoughts on:

                                                 Lego Table!

So now what do you think? Are you ready to join the movement?

Be well kids!
