Members of the MIT community host maker events on campus and give talks about making in Washington.
MIT joined maker communities across the country to inspire Americans of all backgrounds to create, tinker, and innovate in honor of the National Week of Making, June 17-23. The week is part of the White House’s Nation of Makers initiative, an all-hands-on-deck call to provide better access to a new class of technologies for students, entrepreneurs, and citizens to design and build.
The MIT community participated in a number of activities throughout the week in Washington, including talks during the second annual National Maker Faire; a free public event held on the campus of the University of the District of Columbia; panel discussions on manufacturing and the future of making; and meetings on higher education and admissions making and digital fabrication.
