Even if your interests aren’t roughly aligned with those of a four-year-old boy, Maker Faire is still pretty cool. This celebration of all things DIY has something for everyone, from steampunks to crafters to techies to parents. The sheer diversity of both the crowd and the projects presented is something to see.
Maker Faire is a product of MAKE Magazine, a quarterly publication about DIY and DIWO (Do It With Others) projects in the fields of computer science, robotics, metal- and woodworking, crafting, and the arts.This year marks the event’s fourth anniversary.
If you’ve never been to a Maker Faire and always wondered what these events entail, take a look at this video to get an idea of the quirky, fascinating world that lies within this festival. The Bay Area Maker Faire ends today, but it’ll be back next year. Faires in Detroit and New York are coming later this summer. Previous Maker Faires have been held in Rhode Island, Austin, TX, and the United Kingdom.
