We’re really excited about our ninth annual Maker Faire Bay Area, taking place this weekend, May 17 and 18 at the San Mateo Fairgrounds. Makers have been setting up their exhibits in full force and the inspired energy is contagious. Our photo editor Jeffrey Braverman and photographer Gunther Kirsch captured snapshots of the festivities to offer a glimpse. Come out and play with us this weekend!
