Anton Olsen of GeekDad has a nice piece on some of the highlights for kids at Maker Faire Austin. (the photo is part of the TexLUG exhibit, one of my picks for the Editor’s Choice blue ribbon – they were great!)
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.
