Yi-Tan Tech Community Call #389 - Makers and Making - 1:30pm Eastern, Monday =0A =0A 2013-05-20

[Jerry Michalski]

Greetings,

Maker Faire is under way this weekend in San Francisco. It's definitely a signal, a harbinger of larger changes afoot. 

What are those changes? How should we frame the making to better understand its implications?

Plausible starting points: 1) it's transforming education; 2) it's teaching everyone resilience; 3) if you can't open it, you don't own it; 4) art isn't hard!; 5) learning can be fun; 6) yours?

Together, let's discuss:

• What does the Maker Movement mean to you?
• How is it affecting your world? The whole world?
• Where is it headed? What does it portend?

As always, an IRC chat will be available during the call at #yitan.

We tweet as @yitan (and use #yitan as our hashtag). Please follow us on Twitter. This page is on the web here.
