MakerFaire (5/19-20) Advance ticket prices end today!   Message List  
Reply | Forward Message #106 of 141 |
If you're interested in technology, you MUST go to the Maker Faire on May 19-20 - it's the most amazing thing!  Last year the Mythbusters were wandering around and all day Steve Wozniak was out playing polo on a Segway. Plus there were just incredible projects and inventions all around.  Don't miss it!  Advance ticket sales end today.

****************************
If you missed the first Maker Faire last year, the best way to describe this family-friendly weekend is part science fair, part craft fair, part county fair, and part Burning Man. A two-day, family-friendly event celebrating arts, crafts, engineering, science projects, and the do-it-yourself (DIY) mindset, Maker Faire is for creative, resourceful folks who like to tinker and love to make things. (We call them Makers). Check it out:
http://makerfaire.com
 
Here's a small taste of what we have lined up for you: Survival Research Labs (SRL), Five Foot Russian Submarine, Junkyard Jet, Bazaar Bizarre, Silicon Death Valley, RoboGames' Combat Robots, Power Tool Drag Races, Neverwas Haul, Life-size Mousetrap, Walking Robotic Chariot, Build Your Own Blinkybug, The Electric Giraffe, The Disgusting Spectacle, Tomato-basket Dragons and Whales, Internet Crane Game, The Art of Motion Control, Puppy Mover Monorail, Model Rocket Video Camera, Hydrofoils (homemade, human-powered, ornithopter and wooden), Chris Benton's Kite Aerial Photography, Electric Supercars, Swap-O-Rama-Rama, Roobma Hacking, Winners of the Most Spectacular Failures contest, and acres more...
 
With all the buzz around Maker Faire, we're anticipating a huge turnout (last year we had north of 20,000 people!). But you can avoid the lines and save yourself some bucks by purchasing tickets online: https://store.makezine.com/SearchResults.asp?Cat=35
BUT CUTOFF FOR ADVANCE TICKET SALES IS MAY 10.
