[CASL-L] Save the Date: 2nd Annual New England Maker Summit

[Melissa Thom]

Good Morning!

I wanted to send out a Save the Date for the 2nd Annual New England Maker
Summit <http://whymakingmatters.com/>.  It will be held on Friday, November
17th from 10-4 at the University of Hartford
<http://www.hartford.edu/ec/training-events/events/maker-summit.aspx>.
This year's theme is "How Making Happens."

If you attended last year, the format will be a little different.  Based on
the feedback we received, there will 2 separate tracks of sessions: one for
educators and the community and another for business and manufacturing.

We are still in the planning stages for this year, so I will share more
info as it becomes available.  If you have suggestions for speakers and/or
exhibitors, please let me know!

Check out these websites for more info:

Have a great weekend!
