We are thrilled that two young makers, Ben Hylak and Joey Hudy, were honored this week at the White House and got to meet the President. Ben and Joey have been big hits at Maker Faire and featured here on Makezine (see links above). Ben treated himself to a Maker Faire after overcoming a life-threatening illness, learned to solder there, and used his new-found talents to start building telepresence robots (out of trash cans). Joey makes extreme marshmallow cannons and has started an Arduino shields kit business. Both boys were honored as part of the White House's Science Fair celebration. Congrats to both of these inspiring young men.
We were also tickled to see the White House state: "As the World’s Largest Do-It-Yourself Festival, Maker Faire is the premier event for grassroots American innovation."
