If you are in the Midwest and enjoy seeing ridiculously cool DIY inventions, then you must get yourself to Maker Faire Detroit happening this Saturday & Sunday!

My local hackerspace, Pumping Station: One (http://pumpingstationone.org/), from Chicago will be there in full force. There will be a large presence from the local Michigan hackerspaces, too:
i3 Detroit
Ferndale, MI
All Hands Active

Ann Arbor, MI
This is the Maker Faire for the Midwest this year and promises to rival the long running West Coast edition. Maker Faire emphasizes education and learning. It's the perfect family event and fun for all ages. I'll be taking my dad with.
Stay tuned to this blog and my twitter account for update during the Faire!
Stay calm & solder on,
