Paper Helicopter Workshop 11am - 12:30 - 2nd Floor, Louis Stokes Wing From grade school through graduate school, most of us were taught that the way to investigate or manage a complex process is to study one variable at a time while holding all of the other variables constant. This method is flawed and frequently leads to incorrect, suboptimal solutions. The correct approach, called Design of Experiments (DOE), can be demonstrated and learned using simple toys such as paper helicopters. Learn the basic principles of DOE methods (the math and statistics will be kept to a minimum) and apply what you've learned by building and optimizing your own paper helicopter design. Tools and materials will be provided. Subscriptions to Make magazine will be awarded for the paper helicopter with the longest flight time and the paper helicopter that displays the best artwork during flight. Contest participants will compete in two fly-offs from the library's main floor balcony at with judging by the audience.	Sold Out	Ended	Free	$0.00
RePlay for Kids Workshop Noon to 2:30 Workshop where participants adapt mainstream, battery-operated toys by placing a switch cable in parallel with the original switch, allowing the toy to be operated by a variety of alternative switches that could be plugged into the cable. www.replayforkids.org Location: 4th Floor Main Building of the Cleveland Public LIbrary	Sold Out	Ended	Free	$0.00
3D Printing Workshop from America Makes - 11am America Makes is the National Additive Manufacturing Innovation Institute. As the nation’s leading and collaborative partner in additive manufacturing (AM) and 3D printing (3DP) technology research, discovery, creation, and innovation, America Makes is working to accelerate AM and 3DP technologies and increase our nation’s global manufacturing competitiveness. At the Cleveland Maker Faire, we are planning a "Maker's Choice" Workshop, asking the Maker Community their preferences on software, printers, materials, and products. We'll accumulate input and take these comments back to the manufacturers! We will display parts and ask users their preferences on those tools used to do 3D printing. We will take user input back to the manufacturers for feedback for next generation software, machines, products. This workshop should help the novice 3D Printer to get started with popular choices in software and hardware, and give experienced Makers a chance to highlight pros and cons of their software and machines.	27 Registrations	Ended	Free	$0.00

About Cleveland Mini Maker Faire

About Maker Faire:

Maker Faire is the Greatest Show (and Tell) on Earth—a family-friendly showcase of invention, creativity and resourcefulness, and a celebration of the Maker movement. It’s a place where people show what they are making, and share what they are learning.

Makers range from tech enthusiasts to crafters to homesteaders to scientists to garage tinkerers. They are of all ages and backgrounds. The aim of Maker Faire is to entertain, inform, connect and grow this community.

The original Maker Faire event was heldin San Mateo, CA and in 2012 celebrated its seventh annual show with some 800 makers and 110,000 people in attendance. World Maker Faire New York, the other flagshipevent, has grown in three years to 500+ makers and 55,000 attendees. Detroit, Kansas City, Newcastle (UK), and Tokyo are the home of “featured” Maker Faires (200+ makers), and community-driven, independently organized Mini Maker Faires are now being produced around the United States and the world—including right here in Cleveland.

Maker Faire is organized by MAKE magazine and supported by O'Reilly Media.

About MAKE Magazine:

MAKE unites, inspires, informs, and entertains a growing community of resourceful people who undertake amazing projects in their backyards, basements, and garages.
