Education Day at Maker Faire Bay Area 2011

Education Day at Maker Faire Bay Area 2011

Education Day is opportunity for schools from near and far to bring their students to a sneak preview of Maker Faire. Some of our most engaging makers hosted 1600 kids and everyone had an amazing time. The students roamed from exhibit to exhibit learning about physics, chemistry, and technology. Special thanks to Sasha for interviewing student visitors.

Time-Lapse Colossus Assembly

Time-Lapse Colossus Assembly

Over two days, the massive Colossus sculpture was erected on the midway at Maker Faire Bay Area 2011. It reaches an impressive 70 feet into the sky and features three hanging boulders that rotate around the central support.
We filmed this time-lapse to show you the impressive feats required to put together an installation of this scale.

You can see Colossus at Maker Faire Bay Area 2011 May 21 & 22.
