I wanted to share a great opportunity for your youth. Make-to-Learn <http://m2l.indiana.edu/> , a new thematic initiative of the DML Research Hub being led by Indiana University's Creativity Labs, is partnering with Instructables.com <http://Instructables.com/> , one of the biggest online DIY communities, to host the Make-to-Learn Youth Contest <http://www.instructables.com/contest/maketolearn> , where kids can share their makes, talk about what they learned in the process, and check out lots of other creative makes from across the country.
The contest is open until April 15th, and we invite all sorts of makes - digital, physical, electronic, gastronomic, whatever! Just as long as a youth made it. Details about submission can be found here: http://www.instructables.com/contest/maketolearn You can download a flyer here <https://www.dropbox.com/sh/1im6dcp9ttir3ml/yMJl7sPGDc> that can be posted in your spaces, shared with youth and educators, posted to listservs, etc. Definitely feel free to share widely! We'd love to give as many youth a chance to participate as possible. (And also have a chance to win super cool prizes like iPads, dream makers kits, and more!).
