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.
Started in California in 2006, Maker Faire branched out to Austin, TX
last fall and attracted over 20,000 attendees.
