Maker Cities
Maker Faire Bay Area 2016
May 20th-22nd
For a Maker culture to thrive it needs a healthy habitat: affordable workspaces, tools and supplies, job training and entrepreneurship services, art, and celebrations. Join Dale in conversation with Peter Hirshberg and Kelley Roy who will discuss state of the art initiatives, policies and recipes towards better a Maker habitat.
