New for Maker Camp this year is our maker affiliate program. Campers can seek out Maker Camp affiliate sites in their local communities (libraries, makerspaces, schools, museums) where they can join their peers and participate in Maker Camp at a physical location. MAKE will provide a “playbook” with suggested curriculum by week, special events, and materials list to complete the recommended projects. Affiliates also get other freebies like posters, postcards, t-shirts, stickers, and buttons. The Maker Camp website will include a mapping tool to help campers find local affiliates in their community.
