In June, President Obama hosted the first-ever White House Maker Faire to celebrate America's students and entrepreneurs who are inventing the future with new technologies such as 3D printers, laser cutters, easy-to-use design software, and desktop machine tools. The event brought together more than 100 students, entrepreneurs, engineers, and researchers from 25 states all of whom love to "Make" stuff.
We hope you can "Make" it to Wednesday's event and join the conversation live from the White House Kitchen Garden.
