The fine makers of Hannover, Germany, are hosting their very first Maker Faire Hannover this Saturday, August 3, from 10a.m. to 8p.m. Produced by Heise Zeitschriften Verlag GmbH & Co. media group, the event has an interesting array of makers who will be presenting their projects, everything from 3D printing to fabric art, sculptures, robotics, and food. Here is a sampling of the projects that will be there. We wish them the best of luck with their first-time event and can’t wait to hear how it goes!

I'm a word nerd who loves to geek out on how emerging technology affects the lexicon. I was an editor on the first 40 volumes of MAKE, and I love shining light on the incredible makers in our community. In particular, covering art is my passion — after all, art is the first thing most of us ever made. When not fawning over perfect word choices, I can be found on the nearest mountain, looking for untouched powder fields and ideal alpine lakes.
