Watch Live: The First-Ever White House Maker Faire

America has always been a nation of tinkerers, inventors, and entrepreneurs. But in recent years, a growing number of Americans have gained access to technologies such as 3D printers, laser cutters, easy-to-use design software, and desktop machine tools. These tools are enabling more Americans to design and build almost anything.

To celebrate this new generation of students and entrepreneurs, the President is hosting the first-ever White House Maker Faire this morning -- and you can watch the event live or follow along at#NationOfMakers. The event will feature Makers, innovators, and entrepreneurs of all ages who are using cutting-edge tools to bring their ideas to life.

Tune in now to watch the first-ever White House Maker Faire live.
