Maker Faire has always been a haven of hands-on exploration, learning, and inspiration. Since the beginning we’ve encouraged each maker to let people touch things and see how it all works. We’ve even offered a few classes, which people seemed to absolutely love. This year, we’re going overboard with the workshops you can attend to learn how to do something with hands-on activities. Right now there are over 40 topics you can choose from over the weekend!
Get your tickets to Maker Faire Bay Area and you’ll have a chance to actually get your hands dirty learning anything from circuit design to mozzarella cheese making! There are so many workshops this year, it would be impossible to attend them all. You need to go check out the full schedule of workshops and reserve your seats as soon as possible!
Just to give you a taste, here are the kinds of workshops you can attend this year at Maker Faire
