Yes! We too are working on ways of incorporating the maker movement into our center. We would love to be involved in any assistance/conversations/advice/reflections.

Lee,
Very much echoing others earlier, we're currently working on a proposal for a Makerspace in our Center and for a Mini Maker Faire here in Shreveport.
 We would LOVE to take part in a COP and any online resources you're able to provide.  Exciting to see so many people enthused about the same ideas!
