YouTube and other video services have amazing information and how to videos. At this event people will introduce a 5 minute (or shorter) segment of their favorite learning video. Each person should explain why the channel or video is awesome. Topics of videos can be about how things are made, science, art or instructional. The idea is that everyone goes home with leads on where to find amazing video content relevant to makers.
