MINI
MAKER FAIRE
On November 6-8 Barnes & Noble Galleria
is holding a Mini Maker Faire. Here is a brief description of the Mini Maker
Faire at BN Galleria:
A Maker Faire is a community-based learning
event that inspires everyone to become a Maker and connect with people and
projects in their local community. These events are for people of all ages and
backgrounds who have a desire to create, learn and share, and who bring a DIY
mindset to technology.
Our Mini Maker Faire will feature hands-on
learning and making opportunities in the areas of ideation, creative thinking,
art, design, construction and innovation, as well as programming, coding and 3D
printing – with activities for children ages five and up to adults.
The
Mini Maker Faire will run throughout the weekend of November 6-8 and will
consist of three main areas:
- The Make Workspace – where customers will experience the latest
technologies in 3D printing, robotics, coding, programming and more.
- Meet the Makers – the place in store where customers will hear from
leaders, top brands and local makers about the latest trends in designing,
building, creating and making.
- Make & Collaborate – where customers can immerse themselves in the
process of ideation, rapid prototyping, circuitry and more.
I
would appreciate it if you could pass this information on to your science,
technology, engineering, mathematics, and art departments. We're hoping
that your students and educators will join us on November 6-8. If you are
a STEM School, this would be a great time to schedule a Bookfair Fundraiser at
our store because there will be tons of built-in activities that your students
and parents would enjoy. Please let me know if you are interested in
scheduling a bookfair or have questions.
Also,
if there is a "Maker" in your midst, we'd love to have them
participate in our Meet the Makers portion of the weekend (an educator, a
robotics team, etc.) Please pass along my contact information if you
wish.
Best,
Lin
