pYou know we’re big fans of DIY culture and makers and tinkerers, so we are just super excited that the folks at a href=”http://www.makerfaire.com/”Maker Faire/a are branching out this year and hosting Maker Faires in a href=”http://makerfaire.com/detroit/2010/callformakers/”Detroit/a and a href=”http://makerfaire.com/newyork/2010/callformakers/”NYC/a for the first time ever. For those who need a reminder, Maker Faires are two-day, family-friendly events that celebrate the Do-It-Yourself mindset. They’re for creative, resourceful people of all ages who like to tinker and love to make things. /p

pThat’s you, right? We thought so. Thus, we’ve got two special requests for the core community. Check it out: /p

p1. APPLY. Calling all tinkerers, makers, and dreamers. If you’ve got a great hack that you want to share with the world, especially if it’s something you think might transform kids into maker-juniors, then please apply. The call is open for Detroit and NYC until May 31 and June 30 respectively. Go for it!/p

p2. RECRUIT. If you’ve got connects with maker communities in the fabulous cities of Detroit or New York, then please let the Maker Faire team know. Pop an email to a href=”mailto:sherry@oreilly.com”Sherry/a or a href=”mailto:dale@oreilly.com”Dale/a. They’re eager to spread MAKE culture and we are too. /p
