makerfaire.com: Maker Faire

Maker Faire is a two-day, family-friendly event that celebrates the Do-It-Yourself (DIY) mindset. It's for creative, resourceful people of all ages and backgrounds who like to tinker and love to make things. So much to see, you will need 2 days to see it all!

The Call for Makers is now open for the 5th Annual Maker Faire Bay Area 2010!
We are now accepting entries for Maker Faire Bay Area, May 22nd and 23rd, 2010 at the San Mateo County Event Center. This year's focus is on Young Makers. Join your fellow Makers for the most innovative, inspired and best Maker Faire yet!
