This little news item greeted visitors to Solar Roadways' Indiegogo site this morning:
We were sworn to secrecy until now, but Solar Roadways was invited to the first ever Maker Faire hosted by the White House. The event will feature Makers, innovators, and entrepreneurs of all ages who are using cutting-edge tools to bring their ideas to life. We we're honored to be chosen. Off to the White House now! Will report back tonight.

From the Solar Roadways Indiegogo site:
White House event was wonderful! Got to hear President Obama speak in the East Room. He didn't stay to talk to anyone afterward though. Later we learned that he had rushed off to a press conference on the Iraq situation. But it was an honor to be there.
If you go to the site, you'll see a pic of Scott and Julie Brusaw in the Blue Room and one of them with none other than Bill Nye the Science Guy!
Oh, and there was also a pic of that guy who had to run off to a press conference, too.
