Maker Faire Bay Area coming up!

fustini

Hello,

 

I'm curious if anyone else is going to Make Faire this weekend (May-22 & May-23) in San Mateo (San Fransico / Bay Area).  If so, what are you looking forward to seeing?

 

Thanks,

Drew

    So, I got to go & here is my blog post on some of the highlights I saw: http://bit.ly/MakerMaker

     

    Overall, I would say it was an amazing place.

     

    Two of my colleagues also posted a number of picture on their Twitter accounts:

     

    Did anyone else go?

     

    Here's the Time Lapse Photos that @Intel_Stewart took of our booth:

    Great time lapse! Too bad I missed Intel.  Will you be at Detroit or New York Maker Faires?

    Personally, I don't know if I'll be going, but, to be honest, we were VERY impressed with the show & are strongly looking what would be good to do at future shows...

     

    @ -=- Any recommendations? What do you think we should do?  Robot Races?

    Well, you can never go wrong with racing robots! And it is Detroit so vehicle theme is fitting.  What types of groups were you thinking of getting involved?  High school students like FIRST or maybe university students & DIY/maker/hacker adults?

     

    My local hackerspace, Pumping Station: One (http://pumpingstationone.org/) initiated a supped up Power Wheels race which will be held between hackerspaces across the country at Maker Faire Detroit: http://pumpingstationone.org/2010/04/pumping-stationone-power-wheels-featured-in-time-out-chicago/.  It should be alot of fun!  I think some of the teams are getting close to 30 mph!

     

    BTW, are you local to the Bay Area?  I totally fell in love with the region & have been keeping an eye on airfare ever since I got back image
