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.

We had a massive turnout for this year’s Maker Faire Bay Area’s Town Hall meeting in San Francisco Tuesday evening. The folks at TechShop SF were kind enough to lend us their space for the meeting and to give walking tours of the facility. Makers from all over the San Francisco Bay Area and abroad were able to meet with the Maker Faire Crew in-person, establish new connections, and kick the season off with a bang. Also on hand to satiate the frenzied crowd of risk-takers, doers, and makers of things were the folks from The American Grilled Cheese Kitchen in South Park with monster gourmet grilled cheese sandwiches and cups of smoky tomato soup. Yum!
