Join the creators of MAKE magazine, the MythBusters, and thousands of tech
DIY enthusiasts, crafters, educators, tinkerers, hobbyists, science clubs,
students, and authors at MAKE's first ever Maker Faire!

Maker Faire is a family-friendly weekend of tech exploration, maker
mischief, and fun at the San Mateo County Fairgrounds in the San Francisco
Bay Area this April 22nd/23rd. Think of it as a newfangled science fair.
Our goal is to recognize and promote the wide range of cool and clever
projects that Makers develop and to help them inspire all kinds of people
to become Makers.   Meet all kinds of people who make amazing things in
garages, basements, and backyards for inspiration, know-how, and spirited
mischief-making. An incredible learning experience for the entire family,
students of all ages and their teachers are welcome.  We're continuing to
add new things throughout the coming weeks, so check back frequently and
watch the MAKE blog for breaking news!
