Meet Keyana Stevens, our Communications Manager

Although this is an introductory blog post, I’ve actually been at Maker Ed for 6 months now, working behind-the-scenes running our blog, social media accounts, and other communications needs. I’ve been so busy getting involved that I haven’t had the time to sit down and write this until now!  I grew up in a family of […]

Meet Julia Petraglia, our Program Manager for Making Spaces

I’m new to the idea of labeling myself as a “maker.” At an early age I was labeled as: a musician, a writer, a performer. I thought that this meant that I could not also be: a scientist, a mathematician, an engineer. I was led to believe that these were two completely different types of […]

Introducing Katie Barthelow, our new Program Manager for Maker Corps!

Hi all! I’m Katie, and I hail from a small island (think 2,000 residents) off the coast of Washington state where I took a ferry to school, and everyone I knew was a maker of some sort because there were few formalized jobs. I grew up with a best friend whose parents made a living blowing glass. […]

Meet Daniella, our new Maker VISTA Program Manager!

Meet Daniella, our new Maker VISTA Program Manager!

When I was young, my favorite things to make were: sandwiches my brother laugh believe I was somehow both incredibly shy and incredibly bossy. I followed rules on the outside and raged defiantly against The Man on the inside (at the time, “The Man” took the shape of my mom, or directions about coloring, or pants). Making […]

Meet Danny, Maker Ed’s New Community Coordinator

Meet Danny, Maker Ed’s New Community Coordinator

When I was in elementary school, I built a Honey I Shrunk the Kids-style shrinking helmet. If I remember correctly, the materials included an old bicycle helmet, at least one roll of silver duct tape, and the pieces of a VCR I had unceremoniously dismantled. I did not know what “making” was. I had never heard of […]

Introducing Justin Boner, Maker Ed’s Program Coordinator

Before joining the Maker Ed team in January, I had enveloped myself in the fascinating study of Greco-Roman antiquity through its languages, drawing insight and inspiration from its complex, disappearing cultures and its many, distinct but overlapping histories. This leap from the library of humanistic scholarship to the hands-on laboratory of making is not as far […]

Meet Jessica, Maker Ed’s New Education Community Manager

I found myself on the floor of the Tinkering Studio in The Exploratorium on a Tuesday morning in autumn 2014, paired with a high school math teacher and armed with the task of making a marble go as slowly as possible. I was invigorated: I had a partner, I had a goal, and I had […]
