This Weekend: Maker Faire

Writing by Evan Ackerman on Thursday, 28 of May , 2009 at 6:17 am

Coming up this weekend here in the Bay Area is Maker Faire, a festival of awesomeness that celebrates people who, you know, make stuff. You remember Maker Faire from last year, where we had a whole bunch of this and a smattering of this, followed somewhat shockingly by this? Yeah, that’s right. It looks like Pleo took a little bit more damage than we might have thought at the time. Anyway, this year ComBots has been folded into RoboGames (which takes place just two weekends later), but that doesn’t mean that Maker Faire will be devoid of robot action. Quite the contrary, I hope, with everything from combat robots to Russell the robot giraffe to who knows what else… But that’s part of the fun. We’ll be doing our best to post pics all weekend, both here at over at OhGizmo.

Buy tickets here.
