Description

Many people got interested in technology by taking things apart in order to learn how they work, and this was an important step in their learning how to build stuff themselves. This event will feature important players in the history of the Maker/Hacker Community in Silicon Valley and beyond. Speakers will give their perspectives on how various maker communities started and what they have done.

Speakers:

Dr. Andrew Cromarty: President and CEO of Heathkit.

Dale Dougherty: CEO of Make Media

Camp Peavy, founder of the HBRC Challenge and HomeBrewed Robots.

Lee Felsenstein: CTO of Fonly LLC, and a Computer History Museum Fellow

Tom Coughlin, the moderator, is an active member of this committee
