The Maker Movement: Part techie, part Do-It Yourself. The Make Movement has its emphasis, simply put: on having students and adults make something. The Maker Movement encourages creativity, new ideas, innovation and thinking outside the box. Some of the makers are actual entrepreneurs and inventors. Other Makers are amateurs or enthusiasts from a certain area of interest such as electronics or gardening. Maker Faires are popping up all over the place. For more information on Maker Faires see https://makerfaire.com/maker-movement/

How to make a wasp catcher that won’t harm the bees:

This is a great DIY project…I think I will do this tomorrow as I am planning to go peach picking this weekend! Thanks for the info…
