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.

It’s amazing the amount of effort that goes into one of these epic shindigs, both from all of those on the MAKE team and from the hundreds of other makers, and presenters, the staff of The Henry Ford, our loyal sponsors, our local Detroit support system. We spend many months charging up the giant Maker Faire capacitor and then we cackle like mad scientists for three days as the charged energy is released and we see where it all takes us.

Yesterday while walking around the DIY music section of Maker Faire Detroit, I heard a very familiar voice, though what the voice was saying was absolute nonsense. “People vote community achieve promise and hope together strength.” I followed the sound to find Ashley Lewis standing behind a keyboard telling a group of visitors about her […]
I3Detroit came all the way from the back of the starting grid to finish first in Saturday’s road course challenge. There were some Schumacher-level driving skills on display – including a three car wide pass on a course not designed for such thrilling shenanigans.
A fire-breathing pony, a giant fire-breathing dragon truck, three-dimensional printers, life-sized boardgames, pie-plate instruments, a walking video suit, an armored vehicle that does battle with the weather. A trip into the Twilight Zone? No, a day at Maker Faire.
