MakerFaireDetroit
from Jaime Chanter

Making is just so much. If you haven't experienced it in awhile, I highly encourage you to get back at it. I know you've done it in the past and I know it's given you a smile. That's what making does. It makes you feel good. I am always striving to bring making into my teaching. I visited the Maker Faire in Detroit a few weeks ago and loved every second of it. I was fortunate to hear Sherry Huss, founder of Maker Faire, speak back in May. She is the reason I attended in Detroit. What an inspiration!!
The vibe at Maker Faire is the best thing about it. Everyone wants to make, to share, to smile. It's super laid back, inviting, and comfortable. There is very little intimidation and very much interaction. I would highly encourage you to take one in.
I've visited the Mini Maker Faires before and those are pretty great too. This is just such an amazing scale of creativity and collaboration. It was the ten year anniversary for Detroit. I'd very much like to get to the World Maker Faire or the Flagship Maker Faire. Neither of them are on my budget/calendar at this time but they are definitely on my watch list. Check out their site to see what may work out for you - https://makerfaire.com/

AugustResources
Sharing some resources that have been shared to me recently...
1) Orbrary https://obrary.com/
Free design files for laser or cnc.
All work is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 4.0 International License.
There are also some eBooks
Take a peak
2) Democo MakerHub http://makerhub.demco.com/makerhub/home
You need a free account (so you need your email)
A collection of maker activities, projects and products.
It doesnt hurt to look.
3) SCOPES-DF https://www.scopesdf.org/lessons/
Digital Fabrication lessons from the FabLab Foundation
Requires an account (email).
Wonder if we can / should have one repository for maker centered lessons with standards tied to them... is it possible or too large a job. There are thousands of standards (roughly 100 ish per subject per grade level in high school, so I imagine just as many in elementary)
