Maker Faire
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.

Maker Faire tryouts on BBtv
Folks frequently ask me what happens at Maker Faire tryouts. This episode of BBtv gives you some idea, as Greg MacLaurin demos his “Judy Phone,” a playback device via an old analog phone of bizarre Judy Garland audio recordings done for her 1960 autobiography.
