Maker Faire is the Greatest Show (and Tell) on Earth — a family-friendly festival of invention, creativity, and resourcefulness, and a celebration of the maker movement.

And now we’re turning to you to […]
Miami’s first mini maker faire welcomed over 1,600 attendees yesterday, featuring a wide ranging array of South Florida makers in Miami’s Wynwood district. As one of the organizers of Orlando Mini Maker Faire, we were excited to see our friends from South Florida producing a mini maker fair of their own, and they did not disappoint!
A 2+ year odyssey started when my kids Sam and Julia, then 7 and 9, stated the obvious solution to a simple problem, “Let’s give it a home in Palo Alto.” They wanted to see artist Charles Gadeken’s Aurora, a life-sized, all-metal sculpture of a weeping willow tree lit by thousands of LEDs.
