It’s been called The World’s Largest DIY Festival. And on May 30th and 31st Maker Faire 2009 is back in the US.
Brought to you by the creators of Make magazine, Makezine.com, and Craftzine.com, Maker Faire is a two-day, family-friendly event to MAKE, create, learn, invent, CRAFT, recycle, think, play and be inspired by celebrating arts, crafts, engineering, food, music, science and technology.
In March they were in the UK. Now Maker Faire returns to the US for the 4th Annual Maker Faire Bay Area: Re-Make America.
Following on President Obama’s call to “begin again the work of remaking America”, Maker Faire 2009 will be organized around the theme of Re-Make America. Held in the San Francisco Bay Area on May 30-31, Maker Faire celebrates what President Obama called “the risk takers, the doers, and the makers of things.” The fourth annual Maker Faire will showcase individual creativity and grassroots innovation in the largest festival devoted to DIY culture and technology in the country.
Creations from last year’s event included robots, costumes and cupcake-shaped electric cars, complete with icing and sprinkles. This event is definitely on the cutting edge–perfect for you indie crafters.
