The MIRA Conference seeks to bring together a group of makers, librarians, educators and practitioners for presentations, discussions and networking. We encourage participation from all types of makerspaces such as academic, community, museums, libraries (K-12, higher education, public, special), institutions, and organizations).
We are seeking 20 minute presentations that can include ideas, experiences, original research, engaging discussion questions or activities. (Rubric: https://bit.ly/2MJfKtm)
