Saturday’s a wrap! There’s never a shortage of things to do and see at Maker Faire Bay Area, and this year’s show is no exception. For more updates during the show, stay tuned to our Twitter feed, follow along with #mfba19, and watch our livestream. But for now, here are a few of our favorite things we saw during the Faire today.

Try your luck with the Jedi Training Device! Toru Takagaki makes lightsaber circuit boards and you can try his sabers in this crazy rig that uses an Xbox sensor to fire plastic balls (ahem, blaster bolts) at you. The Force was strong with this kid! Fiesta Hall west doors. #mfba19 pic.twitter.com/C4r6fSf2Og

The @magicwheelchair team does incredible work, building fantastic, fancifully themed mobility devices for kids. This one is Darth Vadar's TIE fighter (known to us geeks as TIE Advanced x1). The writing inside even spells "Darth Xavier" in Sith. #mfba19 pic.twitter.com/pOOznTqXM4
