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.

Detroit’s creative community is mind-blowing, dedicated, and full of city pride. Last year, I remember seeing a T-shirt that summed it up: “Detroit Hustles Harder.” One of Detroit’s notable makers is Bethany Shorb of Cyberoptix Tie Lab, creator of some of the most original ties on the planet. Bethany will be exhibiting at this year’s Maker Faire Detroit, taking place this weekend, July 30 and 31, at The Henry Ford in Dearborn.
