I had a great time, came back with a wonderful iPhone story, met a lot of MAKErs of all ages. It is so very hard to generally categorize what Maker Faire is that I simply will leave everyone with this video and get on with my summer.
Re-Make America
Following on President Obama’s call to “begin again the work of remaking America”, Maker Faire 2009 will be organized around the theme of Re-Make America. Held in the San Francisco Bay Area on May 30-31, Maker Faire celebrates what President Obama called “the risk takers, the doers, and the makers of things.” The fourth annual Maker Faire will showcase individual creativity and grassroots innovation in the largest festival devoted to DIY culture and technology in the country.
