Three things: (1) possible book of interest- Chris Anderson's 'Makers'; (2) NYC World Makerfaire on 9/26/15, and (3) keep the early evening of 9/9 open if you can!

Hi Makers@Amherst Media: 

Three things:

1) Wired magazine editor Chris Anderson's Makers book might be of interest to some of you on the list. Thanks to Alex Schreyer for pointing it out to me. See [1] below.

2) Keep September 9th, early evening open on your schedule if you can. We are still working on planning so this isn't definite yet, but we may have a M@AM fall kick-off event with a talk by an amazing teacher from a company called Trillium Learning who has high school kids in NJ and Alaska doing AMAZING maker-related projects connected to high schools. Stay tuned for details on that... 

3) This year's UMass Open Science/Maker class will be again heading down to the World Makerfaire in NY City [2] on Saturday 9/26. Tickets can be purchased at [3]. I've created a Google doc to see who might be interested in going and to start a carpool list.

Cheers,

Charlie Schweik

Excellent! I'll be there as well with the SketchUp team showing off some awesome CNC projects I'm building right here in Greenfield:

Hi Eric,

Just to clarify -- you are talking about being at NYC Makerfaire with your Sketchup team? Great! Give us more information on what table we should look for to find you...
