Video All Hands Active in Ann Arbor is a Makerspace for All Ages (Video) 35

This is an interview with All Hands Active's Josh Williams. He shows us a project the group is doing in conjunction with Eastern Michigan University's Bright Futures Institute for the Study of Children, Families, and Communities. This is just one project, and maybe not the most exciting one they do, but it's something simple they can (and do) cart around to schools and other remote locations. They use a laser cutter for this simple project, not because it's really needed, Josh says, but because "any excuse to use a laser cutter is a good excuse."

"any excuse to use a laser cutter is a good excuse"
That should be added to the Slashdot quotes.

"Makerspace" - a culmination of pop science/Mythbusters viewers who take off-the-shelf stuff, without knowing how it works, cobble it together, and claim to be hackers.
Sad, sad world. Where's the next Steve Wozniak?
