Stretch Your Maker Faire Experience to Zone E: The Butterfly Bikes Are Waiting for You
It’s Day 2 of Maker Faire. Time to light out for new territory. Zone E to be exact.
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.

Skating and Creating With Happy Cloud Cruiser at Maker Faire NY
At Maker Faire Bay Area this past May, MAKE videographer Nat Heckathorn and I tackled the hills of San Mateo on longboard skateboards. Well, Nat had a longboard. I had a wobbly little cruiser ill-suited to fast descents. On my second run I went down hard on my hip and up popped a grapefruit sized hematoma of swirling black and purple that lasted for weeks.
As I got ready for World Maker Faire New York, more than one colleague told me to stay away from skateboards lest I injure myself again. I complied but then I met up with Andreas Ekberg.

littleBits CEO Ayah Bdeir spoke at the Make: Innovation stage about littleBits, a line of kid-friendly modular electronics.
