The Making of a Maker Movement in Michigan - Dale Dougherty

Make Magazine and Maker Faire have been the catalyst for a maker movement that encourages everyone to see themselves as makers who apply technical skills and knowledge to creative and social goals. Dale will talk about why this movement is especially important for Michigan and why he wanted to Maker Faire Detroit at the Henry Ford Museum. Maker Faire fosters new ways of thinking about technology, manufacturing and education, all of which are key to the re-vitalization of Detroit, the State of Michigan and the entire country. Dale will be joined by Sridhar Kota, Assistant Director for Advanced Manufacturing in the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy, to discuss the national and regional significance of the maker movement.

Tornado Intercept Vehicle - Sean Casey

To capture the extraordinary, first-of-a-kind footage in Tornado Alley, director Sean Casey not only had to learn how to enter a tornado, he had to design a vehicle that could take him there. It was a tricky proposition, considering tornadoes have the power to pick up locomotives and hurl cars through the air—carrying them over distances of up to a mile.

In 2002, Casey sketched out a design (which, he says, looked “remarkably similar to the spaceships I drew when I was twelve”), taught himself how to weld, and, that summer, work on the original tornado intercept vehicle began.

The TIV, as it is known, was built for one express purpose: to house and shuttle Casey’s camera (he and his crew call it “an armored tripod on wheels”). He created a military-style filming turret, inside of which he maneuvers much like a tank gunner, only he’s shooting film instead of ammunition and his range is 360 degrees. Featured prominently in the film Tornado Alley, TIV 2 is an updated incarnation of the original vehicle, built on a Dodge Ram 3500 platform. A third axle was added, giving it six-wheel-drive capability, in addition to four hydraulic drop-down skirts that block wind and debris during an intercept, a self- leveling suspension system, a modified 6.7-liter turbo-diesel engine, and a 92-gallon fuel tank. TIV 2 weighs 14,000 pounds and has a top speed of over 100 mph—not bad, but still a little sluggish if you’re being chased by an EF5 tornado.

A Recipe for Free Range Learning - Maria Andersen

Never has there been a time where information could be so freely found outside of formal education. It's a time when you can learn just about anything you desire. However, it's not enough to just have access to the information. To engage in learning (in or outside of education) you need to have the essential ingredients and a good recipe. What can you do today to enhance the effectiveness of free-range learning, and how will the DIY movement affect learning in the future?

I will talk about our successes thus far, challenges that we must overcome, and current work in this very important area. I will also talk about Ford's global sustainability vision. This includes processes that are being established for engineers to determine the best solutions to meet all of their durability and functional requirements, while considering the environmental impact of materials.

Filmmaker Sean Casey's personal quest to capture the birth of a tornado with a 70mm camera takes viewers on a breathtaking journey into the heart of the storm. A team of equally driven scientists, the VORTEX2 researchers, experience the relentless strength of nature's elemental forces as they literally surround tornadoes and the supercell storms that form them, gathering the most comprehensive severe weather data ever collected. This science adventure reveals the beauty and the power of some of our planet's most extreme - and least understood - weather phenomena.

The Power Racing Series (PPPRS) is an event where Hacker/Whateverspaces turn those toys cars that everyone wanted but only stupid Brad from down the street owned (even though everyone hated him), into highly competitive sort-of racing machines. Teams are allowed quite a few liberties (motors, batteries) but we also made a few restrictions so you masochistic engineers can pleasurably cry yourselves to sleep at night. You have $500 to do this with (aside from safety equipment, cause we don't want to mop you up either). You also compete in three events, and you'll have to do more than just drive fast (re: be entertaining) to win points. After all, it's not like we want an actual race to break out. Oh and it is rather unsafe, so you'll sign a waiver. You built it, so we knew you'd understand

Tornado Intercept Vehicle - Sean Casey

To capture the extraordinary, first-of-a-kind footage in Tornado Alley, director Sean Casey not only had to learn how to enter a tornado, he had to design a vehicle that could take him there. It was a tricky proposition, considering tornadoes have the power to pick up locomotives and hurl cars through the air—carrying them over distances of up to a mile.

In 2002, Casey sketched out a design (which, he says, looked “remarkably similar to the spaceships I drew when I was twelve”), taught himself how to weld, and, that summer, work on the original tornado intercept vehicle began.

The TIV, as it is known, was built for one express purpose: to house and shuttle Casey’s camera (he and his crew call it “an armored tripod on wheels”). He created a military-style filming turret, inside of which he maneuvers much like a tank gunner, only he’s shooting film instead of ammunition and his range is 360 degrees. Featured prominently in the film Tornado Alley, TIV 2 is an updated incarnation of the original vehicle, built on a Dodge Ram 3500 platform. A third axle was added, giving it six-wheel-drive capability, in addition to four hydraulic drop-down skirts that block wind and debris during an intercept, a self- leveling suspension system, a modified 6.7-liter turbo-diesel engine, and a 92-gallon fuel tank. TIV 2 weighs 14,000 pounds and has a top speed of over 100 mph—not bad, but still a little sluggish if you’re being chased by an EF5 tornado.

The Young Makers Program - Team Viper

The Young Makers Program is designed to inspire the next generation of creators and innovators through ambitious hands on projects. The program, a collaboration between Make Magazine, Pixar, and the Exploratorium is creating a community that brings together people who like to learn by building things. The program is organized around community and school based Young Makers Clubs with access to an appropriately equipped shop. Each club consist of Young Makers who form into project teams, with each team being assigned one or more adult mentors. The role of the mentors is to help the teams realize their project vision in time to exhibit at an event like Maker Faire. I will be describing the program in more detail, highlighting several projects that have been completed in our first two years of operation, and explaining how to participate.
