Maker Camp Starts Today!

Attention campers and makers everywhere. MAKE and Google+ kick off Maker Camp today with a fun and project filled day of making. In case you haven’t heard, Maker Camp is a six-week virtual summer camp for teens. Week one is “makers in motion” and so this week we’ll be making things that roll, fly, sail. The featured project of the day is a two liter soda bottle boat.
