San Diego ACM SIGGRAPH Connects Makers, Students
|
|
|
Last month, the San Diego ACM SIGGRAPH Chapter joined the annual STEAM Maker Festival, sharing electronic and 3D production activities with 2,000 elementary and high school students. The festival is a recurring annual event designed to bridge the gap between school-based STEAM programs (science, tech, engineering, art + design and math) and the Maker Movement. The San Diego Chapter took advantage of this excellent opportunity to connect the local Maker community, young curious minds and ACM SIGGRAPH.
