Summary: 
Announcing an upcoming maker- and LGBT-focused installment of "We The Geeks!"

Last week, the White House celebrated a National Week of Making to honor those who lift up makers and builders across the country. This year, the Week of Making coincided with the White House’s celebrations of LGBT Pride Month.
