Maker Faire
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.
Part science fair, part county fair, and part something entirely new, Maker Faire is an all-ages gathering of tech enthusiasts, crafters, educators, tinkerers, hobbyists, engineers, science clubs, authors, artists, students, and commercial exhibitors. All of these people come to Maker Faire to show what they have made and to share what they have learned.

Nerdy Derby Rocks Maker Faire
I had so much fun observing the goings-on at the Nerdy Derby tent at this year’s Maker Faire New York. It’s a rules-light race similar to the Pinewood Derby, and it inspires creativity and participation from kids as well as grownups.
