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.

Garth of Extreme Craft had the Zen Paintball booth at Maker Faire and was pleasantly surprised by the parents. The Zen Paintball booth was a smashing (splatting?) success. I should’ve seen it coming, but I didn’t anticipate that 80% of my paintball artists would be kids! THAT was a great surprise. Claire and I had […]
