[Libs-Or] FW: Maker faires

[Sara Ryan]

Hi all --

Multnomah County Library, in partnership with OMSI, received a Learning
Labs grant from IMLS and the MacArthur Foundation to plan a Maker Center
with a teen focus -- based at OMSI with an MCL presence. (More info in the
press release here -- our collaboration is listed under OMSI:
http://www.imls.gov/news/21st_century_learning_lab_locations1.aspx

We've conducted brainstorming sessions with teens and adult advisors about
design, programming, and how best to reach teens. We're working with our
teen council to test equipment, make recommendations about how the space
should operate, and researching other makerspaces in libraries, museums,
and elsewhere. There are a lot of really exciting possibilities!

And yes, for folks who are curious about the Maker movement who can come to
Portland next weekend, OMSI is hosting a Mini Maker Faire:

MCL staff, OMSI educators, and our Maker Center teen council will be
sharing a tent at the Faire.
