Android Open Conference Mini Maker Faire call for makers closes Monday

Thinking about showing off your cool Android-based project at the Android Open Mini Maker Faire? O’Reilly’s Android Open conference is being held from October 9-11 in San Francisco. If your project is selected for the Mini Maker Faire, you’ll get a free conference pass so you can attend the rest of the conference.

Android has become more than just a mobile OS. With the release of the Accessory Development Kit itโ€™s become possible to bridge the physical and mobile world. We want to celebrate this with a Mini Maker Faire at Android Open.

Weโ€™re looking for makers, hackers, and DIY-ers to be part of the Mini Maker Faire on Tuesday, October 11 at Android Open. All submissions due August 22. Weโ€™re interested in any hardware project that is based around an Android device or embedded board running Android. We only have so many spaces, so weโ€™ll be particularly looking for projects that appeal to a DIY crowd that feature:

  • Kinect/Computer Vision
  • Arduino/Lilypad/ADK
  • Processing for Android
  • Beagle Board/Panda Board
  • NFC/RFID
  • Gadgeteer
  • Wearables
  • Makerbot/Reprap created accessories
  • ROBOTS!!!!

The Android Open Mini Maker Faire call for makers closes on Monday, so get your submission in now!

We’re also celebrating Android DIY with a discount for Makers; get 20% off your registration with the code an11make: Android Open Registration

I'm a tinkerer and finally reached the point where I fix more things than I break. When I'm not tinkering, I'm probably editing a book for Maker Media.
