About Maker Faire:
Maker Faire is the Greatest Show (and Tell) on Earth—a family-friendly showcase of invention, creativity, and resourcefulness celebrating the Maker movement. It’s a place where people show what they are making and share what they have learned. Makers range from tech enthusiasts to crafters, homesteaders, scientists, and garage tinkerers of all ages and backgrounds. Maker Faire aims to entertain, inform, connect, and grow this community.
