I am NOT a MakerExpert! I am simplypassionate about the

students.
#MakersAblaze
...where it all started...
Scenario: Beginning of the 2013 school year, Tech Edstudents filled out a survey about how they wanted the"new" Tech Ed to look. Multiple students stated they wantedto learn how to "create their own computer games" whileothers stated they wanted to "know how a computer reallyworks."
...where it all started...
Result: One nervous, paranoid, brand-new Tech Ed teacher.

Learning + Passion = Magic
Result: After frustration then success...learning sobeautiful it made the once paranoid Tech Edteacher secretly cry tears of joy.
Scenario: After blog reading and conferences, #geniushour wasimplemented as a time for students to explore passions inwhich they originally expressed an interest.
