So Maker's Faires have been getting more popular across the country. People getting together and building stuff. Learning skills, learning to work together, and in general building some really cool things. So in the spirit of building even more cool things... the White House is hosting its own Makers Faire on June 18th. You can check out more <here>. And if you like the OK Go group (as seen all over YouTube, check out their YouTube Channel. They will be there on the 18th and I'm guessing they'll have something new for folks.
