Maker Faire Detroit was incredible this year. Located at The Henry Ford museum, there were so many cool things to see, both as part of the museum and part of the Maker Faire. This year we were trying out a new method of streaming video coverage from the Faire by partnering up with Twitch.TV. Below you’ll find highlights from Sunday at Maker Faire Detroit, and if you want to find all of the streams (plus some other cool twitch streams we’re doing, like interviews with awesome makers) go to our Twitch channel.

Walking and talking in the I3 Detroit tent
I walked around and talked to people at the Faire. It is always great to hear them explain what they are making and what they are seeing while they’re there. I especially enjoyed finding a random pug mask!

Eepy Bird and the Diet Coke and Mentos show
It is always great to finish the day with some Eepybird! These guys have been doing the diet coke and mentos show for 10 years and still manage to keep it fun and interesting. I’m always bewildered by the amount of kids that want to get soaked in diet coke.
