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.

And the fair is happening inside AS220’s Foo Fest 2013 so it’s a twofer. Foo Fest is a fun-filled music, art, and food celebration. Admission is $7 and entrance to the fair is included.

Half an hour before the opening of the first Maker Faire in (Hannover) Germany we suspected it would be a success. A long queue of visitors stretched before the door. And the best thing for us was that so many families with children had gathered to admire the projects of the makers, the exhibitions, the performances, and flight shows.
In his presentation at the the Elephant & Castle Mini Maker Faire last month, Tim Hunkin, an illustrator, engineer, and cartoonist, talked about the homemade amusement arcade he has built over the past 15 years and his work at the Exploratorium in San Francisco. It’s a great talk. Have a look.
