East Bay Mini Maker Faire
The East Bay is haven for makers and tinkers of all kinds and the East Bay Mini Maker Faire in Oakland this Sunday will be loaded with activities, presentations and makers by the dozens.
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.
