I received an email today from the White House about a great new idea they’ve had: a White House Maker Faire:
We’ve got another big first happening at the White House tomorrow, and our guests are making a lot of things besides history:
President Obama will celebrate innovators, entrepreneurs, and tinkerers of all ages from across the country at the first-ever White House Maker Faire.
What do we mean by “Makers,” exactly?
New technologies such as 3D printers, laser cutters, and easy-to-use design software are enabling more Americans to make and build almost anything these days.
Tomorrow’s Maker Faire will feature new and innovative projects, inventions, and designs that are sure to amaze — and some of these projects may very well create industries and jobs of the future.
We here at DaddyBear News Network, where if we can’t find it out, we make it up, are pleased to give you a brief, exclusive sample of the projects and technologies you’ll see tomorrow.
Andy Acetlyene, an accountant and tinkerer from Albuquerque, will be demonstrating his technique for using a plasma torch to cut holes in the very fabric of the Republic.
Lisa Lignin, a materials engineer and textile artist from Leadville, has volunteered to show the Secretary of State how to knit together a coherent foreign policy out of llama wool and wishful thinking.
Kristy Kraftmacher, an administrative assistant and amateur inventor from Kalamazoo, will be showing us how to use all that military gear being used by small police forces to make giant robots for…. things.
Wally Windmeyer, a lawyer and volunteer lobbyist from Washington, has everyone excited with the news that he will be using his 3D printer to grow a spine for the President.
Tune in tomorrow for these and other amazing demonstrations of how we can use technology to make a better tomorrow!
