I’m excited to be going to Maker Faire Long Island for the first time! Come hear my talk about my new book, Making Simple Robots and how it helps kids learn to turn ideas into plans, test and improve their sample projects, and share their excitement and accomplishments with others. Here’s my page on the site.

Maker Faire Long Island is held at the Long Island Explorium in the picturesque Village of Port Jefferson. Lots of great guest Makers, so check it out!
