Creative Change Glass Creations

I am a stained glass artist. I have been working with glass for over a decade. Working in my studio allows me to get lost in my passion to create unique pieces of art. I feel creativity is my serenity, a place to escape from my busy work week ,relax and rejuvenate . I have always been fascinated by color and texture. The combination of metal and glass and the way glass sparkles in the sunshine inspires me. I repurpose unique pieces of metal and wood to frame my glasswork. My style is strongly influenced by nature. My art consists of trees, dragonflies, flowers, ocean scenes, and sunshine.

Precious Plastic MHC

Precious Plastic MHC is a student-led organization at Mount Holyoke College with the goal of creating a closed-loop sustainable way of recycling plastic within the Mount Holyoke campus. Given that we see so much plastic waste coming out of the dining hall, we collaborate with the Dining Commons and other parts of the campus to collect plastic trash through which we aim to create products within the maker space. We use a machine called the injection machine to melt plastic and create small-scale products that can be used by students on campus.

Overclocked22059 FTC Team

Hello, we're Overclocked, a FIRST Tech Challenge (or FTC) team! FIRST Tech Challenge is a program for students aged 12 - 18. The FIRST robotics organization holds many robotics events and promotes not only STEM but also core values such as cooperation and outreach to the local community. At the Maker Faire, last year's robot will be on display and attendees can stop by and try it! We can also tell you about FIRST and what it is. We would like to give everyone a chance to drive it, but unlike our robot, we're human, so everyone may not get a chance to drive.
