We are so happy to announce that the 2013 Call for Makers is officially open! Do you have a work-in-progress or finished project you would love to share and inspire others with? Find out more about what we are looking for and signup today! It is easier than you think, don’t miss having a free booth and access to hundreds of Makers to collaborate with in the future! We particularly encourage exhibits that are interactive and that highlight the process of making things.
Young Makers (<18 years old) are welcome and we encourage it! We have special exhibit areas for them to showcase their inventions and creativity! Tomorrows Makers never cease to amaze us!
We have a small $125 fee for Commercial Makers and Vendors and many Sponsorship packages for companies who want to engage with the most innovative audience on the planet! We also have a special opportunity to help fund a year-round Makerspace and FabLab inside Science City!
If you missed last year, below is a clip that shows just a glimpse of what you will see over two days at the center of Kansas City’s biggest gathering of Makers!
But he didn’t let that one project define him, his real passion is electronics, specifically the Arduino, and open-source microcontroller that is desgined to get the non-techie into programming the world. Is uses a kind of copy and paste rpogramming style but if you are a programmer you can take it further. It is a platform that uses what is called a shield, another circuit board that can be sandwiched on top for inscreased functionality. Joey designed a 3 x 3 x 3 LED cube that makes awesome 3d patterns will LED’s that are soldered together into the shape you see to the right. He designed the circuit board, had it fabricated, put together the instructions and sells it as a way to support his Making! Not bad for a 15 year old who never did anything like this before!
