Maker Faire, Make: Projects, and Maker Camp, OH MY!

See What We have Been Up Too! Now, more than ever, making is essential. We see makers showing up, innovating, and solving challenges in medical supplies shortages (see our [coverage on Plan C]( the civic response to COVID-19). We see families coming together and connecting through hands-on learning. And we see people working on projects to pass the time and for personal growth and enjoyment. Making means different things to people, but is a common thread and community uniting us. 24 Hours of Presentations, Workshops, Demos & Exhibits Across All Time Zones! Across the world, makers have responded to shortages of medical supplies and equipment with agile designs, adaptive distributed manufacturing, and robust community organizing. Virtually Maker Faire is a stage to share the projects and learn from the people behind this extraordinary civic response. And, a space to showcase makers who have responded to these profound social changes with new processes, inspired inventions, and forward-thinking ideas. Virtually Maker Faire will take place online through video sessions and an exhibit showcase on [Make: Projects](. [Sign Up to Receive Updates]( Calling All Makers!
