Mark speaking at Ft. Worth Museum of Science and History, 2/28/2013

Screen Shot 2013 02 27 at 5 57 15 PM Thursday night (Feb 28) at the Ft. Worth Museum of Science and History I'm giving a talk titled "Making Makers: The New Tools and Ideas Driving a Movement." I am going to present a short and colorful history of making things, and then launch into the new tools, technologies, and social changes that are driving an all-ages maker movement. I'll conclude with a fun and fascinating gallery of homemade inventions.

If you live in the area, I hope you can make it!

Aww, I’m watching my kids tomorrow night, or I would definitely come out for this…Mark, will you have time to make it over to the wicked-awesome new Perot Museum of Nature and Science in Dallas while you’re in the area?

PLEASE, please record and give us a link! Tallahassee FL is in the 2nd month of its 1st space. This timely update overview from you (perspective!) would be of _great_ benefit.

I’m going to second the link. This is my favorite local museum, but I don’t think I can make it out in time for the talk! Please record and post! And I hope you enjoy Fort Worth
