1 Building a Renewed Culture of Innovation
2 Making: “the process of producing something” ie, “manufacture, building, constructing, assembly, creation”
3 Maker Education: Build to Learn vs. Learn to Build
4 New Cool vs. Rigor
5 Teaching Content is Training. What you do with it is Education.
6 “Yes I Can!” versus “only a few”

36 New Approach: Engage All in Innovation Make it Cool The Maker Movement
37 Build it? What are the Networks?
38 Convene through Maker Faireand FIRST Robotics
39 Need Broad Community Support
40 Think it. Make it. I can do that
41 We live in a rapidly changing multicultural economy withsystems morphing into new ones, chaos, overconsumption, and climate shift
42 As we struggle to regain our status as a world maker“What Trenton Makes, The World Takes” Our standard of living is challenged
43 While we have challenges stimulatingcreativity and innovation
44 We tend to teach and learn in silos
45 And THIS is considered cool
46 And the gap widens Degree growth
47 However for us to be competitivewe need: Creators Innovators Entrepreneurs Thinkers Leaders Creative Scientists and Engineers…
48 That expands the traditional focus
49 And youth that say, “I can do that”
50 Our innovation is not new“if you can imagine it, you can make it happen”
51 There is an event called a Maker Faire
52 Where arts and science merge
53 To engage communities to innovateMaker Faire is the premier event for grassroots American innovation. As the World's Largest DIY Festival, this two-day family friendly Faire has something for everyone - a showcase of invention, creativity and resourcefulness and a celebration of the Maker mindset.

55 There will be a Maker Faire in VermontFall 2012 Shelburne Farms 50 Makers 15 Exhibitor Tech Talks 8 Performing Acts Maker Shed for DIY Art Show 500 attendees
56 Arts ~ Engineering ~ Green Tech Science ~ Sustainable FoodsThat include: Arts ~ Engineering ~ Green Tech Science ~ Sustainable Foods Music ~ Entertainment
57 And the desired outcomes are:Attendees, particularly young ones (middle school, high school, college) leave inspired to try something out – “Yes, I can do that!” They also become aware of resources - who and where to go. More schools, companies, individuals will want to start maker spaces and local mini maker faires. A local network of creators and doers is formed. There is a desire for holding another Maker Faire in Vermont, maybe in different ways.
