Maker Faire brings together families and individuals to celebrate the Do-It-Yourself (DIY) mindset and showcase all kinds of incredible projects. At Maker Faire, you’ll find arts and crafts, science and engineering, food and music, fire and water but what makes this event special is that all these interesting projects and smart, creative people belong together. They are actively and openly creating a maker culture.
The first Maker Faire started in 2006 in San Mateo, California, organized by Make Magazine. Now in its seventh year, the Bay Area event is a weekend-long celebration featuring 800+ Makers and attracting over 100,000 visitors.
