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.

This morning I happened upon a group of folks preparing a large batch of oobleck for people to walk on and play with at World Maker Faire. It’s pretty neat how goopy and loose it can be with a soft touch and then solid on a fast impact.
