The Maker Lab won the inaugural Social Innovator Award at the 2013 Chicago Innovation Awards Wednesday night! We waited in the wings as the presenter introduced video of Library Commissioner Brian Bannon speaking about the Library and the lab. We walked out on stage under the spotlight and looked out into a crowd of innovators cheering us on. To say it was awesome is an understatement.
(Check out our press release for all the details.)
In 2012, the Maker Lab was an idea. In 2013, the Maker Lab has been visited by thousands. Workshops are full, your feedback has been constructive and we have learned so much. Thanks to each of you who have visited, tweeted or told a friend about us. And thanks to the local maker community for your support and enthusiasm. The experience of learning, making and discovering with you has been one of a kind.
We hope you’ll continue the journey with us as we embark on new adventures in the Innovation Lab in 2014.
