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.

The first thing Meredith Scheff ever made was, and I quote, “Probably a mess!”. She quickly moved onto creating things much more worthwhile. Her North Star Skirt was one of the most interesting projects at the Maker Faire last year. Meredith defies description as a comic book-writing-soft circuit-designing-soldering-sewing-creative force.
