| If You Can Imagine it, You Can Make It |
In February, Warren Buckleitner wrote about the Maker Movement for kids on his Little Clickers Website. This movement inspires, educates, and entertains curious and creative learners of all ages. It celebrates arts, crafts, engineering, food, green design, music, science and technology and brings together communities who embrace the DIY (do-it-yourself) spirit, but can it change the world? Enter MIT and The Fablab. MIT's Center for Bits and Atoms started the FabLab as an outreach program. FabLabs are filled with all of those tools we remember from High School shop class as well as the computer lab. Innovators, inventors, students and teachers have spread this movement around the globe, from Norway to South Africa to Rural India. They are addressing local problems and solving them! Prosthetic legs are being made in Amsterdam. An aquaponic window farm grows in New York City. A Fablab or a version of one can be set up any in school, classroom or home. How can you change your world?  | | Moving Windmills: The William Kamkwamba story |
