Get ready to unleash your creativity and innovation during National Week of Making, which takes place from June 17-23! This week-long celebration was established by the White House in 2014 to encourage people of all ages to explore their passions and skills in various fields such as science, technology, engineering, arts, and mathematics. It's a time to embrace the maker spirit and showcase your unique talents and ideas. So grab your tools and materials, and let's make something amazing together!
Gather your friends and family and spend a day creating together! Set up different stations for different crafts or projects, and let everyone's creativity flow.
Search for maker fairs happening in your area and attend one to see all the amazing things people are making. You might even get inspired to start your own project!
Gather a group of like-minded individuals and work on a community project together. This could be anything from building a community garden to creating a mural for a local school.
Get together with other makers and swap projects or materials. This is a great way to share ideas and resources while also getting to know other makers in your community.
Challenge yourself and others to create something new every day for the entire week! Share your creations on social media using the hashtag #NationalWeekofMaking and see what others are making as well.
