Makerspaces are areas where people can create products using traditional arts and crafts supplies or technology tools such as 3-D printers or digital studios.

Read the recently published nonfiction children’s book, then learn more at the website:

MAKE THIS! by Ella Schwartz explores building, thinking, and tinkering projects for youth. Chapters feature facts and projects for topics including simple machines, materials, systems, optics, energy, acoustics, forces, and motion.

The Maker Education website provides starting points for over a dozen affordable tools and technologies for use in makerspaces. Each category includes a suggested web resource, project ideas, video links, and documents.

I had expected this was a CD from the library but it was a book. I brought it home anyway. It’s an Interesting compendium of stories about the bands, events, peaceful interactions and basically an overall historical account of one of the most famous concerts. For the most part the concert goers were nice young people, helping push police cars out of the mud, a phone operator stating everyone she spokes with said thank you and many other stories attesting to a civil and peaceful event.

bands I would have loved to see such as Santana, Credence, The Who & Joe Cocker. I have seen Crosby, Stills & Nash as well as Johnny Winter, just not at Woodstock. :-)… (más)

Woodstock.
A cultural war against the establishment, or a musical event that began the corporatizing of live music and festivals, Woodstocks influence and significance is still strong today. Woodstock did not actually make any money, the promoters lost over a million dollars that took them into the 1980s to re-pay the debts. Woodstock did open the eyes of corporate interests, and changed how music is marketed.

This is a nice memoir, with many photos and quotes. An insider look at every person who helped bring Woodstock together, as well as a brief bio of each performer and a set list. A perfect memento for music fans, Woodstock fans and the ones who were there and experienced it.… (más)
