Hello all my maker friends,

It is here. The day has come when we get to begin to release a maker project each day for the next month or so. I am so excited to bring these wonderful people to your world, inspire some making, and help to create some community that hopefully we will all engage in with conversation using #25daysofmaking, join the FB group, and eventually join some of the live video sessions we have planned for everyone to be part of.

Today, let’s focus on the first project. This will be perfect for everyone to do. A nice break from the screen and giving us something to do in our classrooms(F2F or online), after school programs, and families.

Please share what you make and do. Share your thoughts. Let’s get connected build some community during these times of isolation.
