“KID Museum was still a ‘museum without walls’ in 2013 and a Maker Faire was a great way to bring to the community the type of interactive programming we were interested in doing at our museum, so we brought the first Maker Faire to the D.C. region. Since then, the Maker Movement has caught hold. The Silver Spring Maker Faire was so popular that it put ‘Maker’ on the map for people here. Now, there’s the National Maker Faire in D.C., and a number of Makerspaces have sprung up. KID Museum has since opened its doors (we’ve been open since last October) and we offer hands-on Maker programming for children ages 6 to 14.”
