CRAFT at Maker Faire: Crafty Chica

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.

Maker Faire tweets
I just started going through the @makerfaire twitter messages. Some of my faves already, even though I’m not even close to finishing to sort them: @choklit: @makerfaire was brilliant, exhausting, magical, quirky and beautiful. The best was the many luminous lovelies I connected with. Now, to bed @quellybeep: full day @makerfaire turned total sensory overload […]
Father/daughter bonding at Maker Faire
I didn’t get a chance to take a ton of photos at Maker Faire, but I did catch this dad and his daughter working on this electronics kit together in the Sparkfun tent. I didn’t catch their names, so if that’s you, post in the comments! I think there should be an international “teach your […]
Pole aerial camera photos from Maker Faire
