At over 800 Maker Camps all over the world, campers spent the summer making, creating, crafting, hacking, and tinkering as they courageously worked through challenges and failures to turn their creative visions into physical and digital realities. They not only realized many new creative projects, they developed their maker mindset, and many captivating stories. [See some of the stories shared by our camp leaders]( in our end of summer wrap-up. You'll find stories of their campers prototyping everything from self-propelling robot goldfish and treat-filled mats for puppies to sweet sugar skull masks and slippery swimming pool slides. So long Maker Camp 2017, and thanks for all the robotic fish!
