Maker Faire is the Greatest Show (and Tell) on Earth — a family-friendly festival of invention, creativity, and resourcefulness, and a celebration of the maker movement.
Part science fair, part county fair, and part something entirely new, Maker Faire is an all-ages gathering of tech enthusiasts, crafters, educators, tinkerers, hobbyists, engineers, science clubs, authors, artists, students, and commercial exhibitors. All of these people come to Maker Faire to show what they have made and to share what they have learned.

Anybody who was at the World Maker Faire likely saw all of the energy that the Madagascar Institute put into the event. It was truly an impressive effort on their part. So, we thought we’d show them a little more love and help promote some of their upcoming classes. If you’re in the NYC-area, and […]
October 24th is the date of the 2010 East Bay Mini Maker Faire. It looks like they’ve got a lot of great makers, crafters, and performers lined up, from robot builders to the Church of Craft, to Howtoons (with novelist Michael Chabon!).

We’re excited to announce the first ever Ottawa Mini Maker Faire, which will be held on November 6th and 7th in Ottawa, ON.
