The second annual Honolulu Mini Maker Faire is set for May 9, 2015. Last year over 30 makers participated and more than 750 people attended. Let’s make this year’s event even bigger and better! Please fill out the sign up form!
Bill Would Fund Library Makerspaces
Hawaii state Sen. Glenn Wakai has introduced a bill in the 2014 legislative session that “appropriates funds to the board of education to establish and maintain makerspaces, including the equipment, materials, and personnel necessary for the operation of makerspaces in public libraries statewide.”
The bill is SB1278, relating to libraries, and has its first hearing before the Senate Committee on Education on Monday, Feb. 9, 2015 at 1:15 p.m.
To submit testimony or find updates on the bill, visit:

The O‘ahu Makerspace has a new space located at 2004 Kahai Street in Kalihi. They are open for business most evenings and on weekends.
At a time when even writing is getting obsolete, people across the state are answering an inner call to use their hands to make things.
Both Oahu Makerspace and Hi-Capacity have moved into new digs and upgraded their programs. What’s the current state of Hawaii’s maker movement?
On Bytemarks Cafe we’ll check in with the local makerspace community and find out what’s new.
