I think that sounds like a great idea.
I am very involved in the indie/diy craft scene, founding a fair in Columbus, OH in 2005 which is still a big annual event and I also participate in others around the country. I am now in Portland, OR working at a science museum and I think the two worlds (craft & tech) are much closer than those involved might think.
I certainly see the benefits of bringing together all kinds of makers (crafty, techie, etc) into the fold at these type of big events, such as Maker Faire. Keep me in the loop as I would be interested in participating in a session or a discussion.
Thanks!

A session on the DIY movement can also bridge the science-craft gap for the uninitiated.

When a teacher is an expert in a subject it is harder for them to understand the conceptual difficulties in the learners mind. Paraphrased from Eric Mazur

I'd like to propose a session for ASTC 2012 about the DIY movement and
Maker Faires related to science centers. We'll be hosting our first
Mini-Maker Faire next year, in collaboration with the Columbus Idea
Foundry. I'd like to talk to others who have hosted these or are doing
DIY -related programming. Anyone interested in co-presenting and/or
sharing their experiences around this topic?
