This past May, nine Department of Energy (DOE) national labs and three DOE program offices hosted the first Make|ENERGY Pavilion at the Bay Area Maker Faire in San Mateo, California. It featured a number of smart and exciting hands-on displays for kids and adults to explore, and offered many opportunities for the innovators and entrepreneurs in the Maker movement to connect with DOE’s scientist and engineers.

The Make|ENERGY Pavilion was a great opportunity to demonstrate some of the dynamic ways DOE’s national labs and program offices are making a real impact, and bridging the gap between Makers and lab scientists – how they Think, Make and Innovate each day. Here’s a short video that captures some of their experiences at the Faire.
