Maker Faire Bay Area 2012

The first and best Maker Faire is coming around again this year, and for our 5th year, we'll be there!

Unfortunately, because of a badly timed whole house move of our family of 6, the projects and demos we had planned on bringing have been completely disrupted and left in a state of half-packed and half-done.

Not to worry though! We'll be there for the entire event and hopefully be out and about for Maker Faire fishbowl interviews and possibly a makeshift demo, and we'll be rooting for our very own Pedalcar! Family friend "TheD" brought his welding skills and we created our very first real steel construction. It's far from perfect, but with a little work and not very much money, we were able to make something rideable.

We'll be posting more updates soon, so stay tuned! But real quick, here's a few things we can't wait to see at Maker Faire:

John Edgar Park's Arduino GRANDE
All the awesome pedalcars for the Death Defying Figure 8 Races
Joe Grand's favorite Prototype this projects
Getting to meet Bunnie formerly of Chumby
Other great young makers like Caine Monroy and Joey Hudy showing kids that making something is always awesome
