    Aloha Christina! I am familiar with the NYU ITP program from when I was at NYU's business school in the early 80's and in fact visited in June of '05 with my son and a Maui friend who is a grad of the MIT Media lab. Got to see an exhibit of end of year game design projects--great fun!

    Maui Makers is still looking for a home, and enough core members to afford one. At present we have a g-group and blog http://mauiMakers.com (and a neglected wiki). If you are on island this week, come to the Maui Techies dinner tuesday in Paia at Flatbread. Carlyn is an awesome lady - she has done wonders at CrashSpace in LA.

    Thanks for the link to the FFL - the idea has been tossed around here a bit.  I first saw it in Make zine's blog back in March ... http://blog.makezine.com/archive/2011/03/is-it-time-to-rebuild-reto...

    It is awesome to see this coming to fruition. I need to connect with some maui librarians.

     

    Are you coming back to Maui anytime soon? We have a TEDx here in January (TEDxMaui.com).  Oh and on Dec 9 check out History Channel's new show InventionUSA, hosted by two Maui Makers - Garrett Lisi and Reichart von Wolfshield
