We
are establishing a collaborative network of museums to engage
youth and their families in more creative and inventive
uses of new technologies.
By
taking a playful approach to invention, and integrating
engineering with artistic expression, the
PIE network provides support for a broader and more
diverse range of people to see themselves as inventors.
The
PIE Network spreads its ideas
by hosting “make-your-own” workshops, publishing
online and printed materials, and organizing MindFest™
events — gatherings of playful inventors of all ages.
