Maker Faire Rome: Joe’s Favorites
Joe Hudy’s favorite picks from Maker Faire Rome 2013.
Maker Faire
Maker Faire is the Greatest Show (and Tell) on Earth โ 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 peopleย come to Maker Faire to show what they have made and to share what they have learned.

Neighborhood 3D Printing Store Opens in Oakland
The HoneyBee3D retail store opens and joins a very small list of brick and mortar small businesses focusing on digital fabrication.
