[This week the Learning Studio was featured on <\/span>ACU News<\/em> and we wanted to share.]<\/span><\/p>\n This past weekend, more than 65,000 people converged\u00a0on the New York Hall of Science for\u00a0World Maker Faire<\/strong>, an international event that speaks its own unique language:\u00a0makerspaces, hackerspaces, 3D printing, CNC routers<\/em>\u00a0and\u00a0Raspberry Pi.<\/em>
World Maker Faire is one of 60 events sponsored by\u00a0MAKE\u00a0<\/i>magazine\u00a0this year to showcase the energy and creativity of a new generation of inventors, hobbyists and programmers. Makers combine cutting-edge technologies and old-fashioned ingenuity in projects spanning robotics, electronics, knitting, photography, rocketry, food and computing.
And this year for the first time, Abilene Christian University was on stage.
Dr. Kyle Dickson (\u201992)\u00a0and\u00a0Dr. James Langford (\u201978)\u00a0were reporting at\u00a0World Maker Faire\u00a0on work that began last spring to bring a makerspace into the\u00a0Margaret and Herman Brown Library.<\/p>\n
