Demaine attended

Canadian Museum of Civilization[7] and the National Gallery of Canada. Since joining MIT, Demaine has begun blowing glass again, as an instructor at the MIT Glass Lab;[8] his newer work features innovative glassblowing techniques intended as a puzzle to his fellow glassblowers.[4][9]

Martin Demaine is the father of MIT Computer Science professor and

MacArthur Fellow Erik Demaine; in 1987 (when Erik was six) they together founded the Erik and Dad Puzzle Company which distributed puzzles throughout Canada.[10] Erik was home-schooled by Martin, and although Martin never received any higher degree than his high school diploma, his home-schooling caused Erik to be awarded a B.S. at age 14 and a Ph.D. and MIT professorship at age 20,[3][11] making him the youngest professor ever hired by MIT.[12]
The two Demaines continue to work closely together and have many joint works of both mathematics and art,
Tom M. Rodgers to edit a tribute book for Gardner on his 90th birthday.[16]
Father and son are both featured in the movie Between the Folds, a documentary on modern origami.

Demaine is a dual citizen of Canada and the United States.[6]
