Makers in Education
We will be looking to meet up with other educators and gathering information about what school and community based programs are in the maker community. We would like to know what educators like about MAKE magazine, Make: Online and Maker Faire and how these resources can be used in the classroom. If educators have examples of their classroom projects, we would love to see them!

oloduino, Turing Machine, fungen, ampliflier, Typo, and plasmaudio
oloduino, turing machine, fungen, and amplifier are all educational electronics kits that we are developing. We'll have demos of each kit there and want to let the world know that we exist. Typo: A tribute to interactive fiction, Typo is an autonomous typewriter that can talk back to you. If you're nice enough, he'll even take your picture and print it out in ASCII. Plasmaudio: Using a pulsed breakdown of the aether at frequencies higher than you can hear, an amplitude-modulated lightning storm lets you become an evil mad scientist while getting your fix of high-voltage rock'n roll.
