Aloha Makers!   I've been on the mainland for a few months...but I've been thinkin' about ya.   The Vermont Makers are an interesting model to look to.They work with kids, colleges, libraries and are active in furthering eco-engineering and sharing practical, appropriate-technologies at all levels:  This is their STEAM program in the skools:  http://steam-e-zine.com/index.php/maker-in-residence-program

And? They recently hosted the event below.  Mikie likes it.   Rinse.  Lather.  Repeat.
