the Basics

• Maker Faire: May 18th & 19th
• Mini-project deadline?
• Plussing Sessions? Interim deadlines?

• Work in groups, pairs, or by yourself
• Some $$ available for projects
• Go big, get crazy - If you have the goal, plan and prototype, we will find a way to make it happen. We can work on finding donations, support, adaptations, etc. Find ideas that you are excited about bringing into the world.
•  Build & Hack:
• Start with what you know and like to do; Hack what others have done, but...
• Go beyond what you've done before , and
• Go beyond what someone else has done. Make it different - better - artistically, technically, functionally. 

• Expectations for you:  MAKE SOMETHING! Work hard, share ideas, discuss plans and prototypes (your own and other peoples), document what's happening.
• Website:
• Resources
• Blog with ideas and progress

• So what are we going to do?
• What is Maker Faire? Who's there? What can I do for it?
