If they have it again, and you make anything, you should try to go! The "maker Fair" is a wonderful event. I bet we could recruit a ton of people or show people some of the awesome manufactured stuff.
If you live within 200 miles and you read this forum, you probably owe it to your self to "make", pun intended, this even every couple of years. The event is kid friendly, but there is stuff present that can be dangerous in some areas, so you must be aware. But what fun would it be if you could not use a soldering iron on premises.
But it is fun for the GEEK family.
There were 2 electric cars present.
There was fire exhibits.
The wife had the back of her cell phone etched with a laser engraver tool.
They were showing people how to use a plasma cutter.
They had a 3D plastic sculpting machine.
They were showing how to use a lathe.
There was tons of crafts for kids.
There was sewing demonstrations and crafting ideas for people not dealing the metal. Mostly women.
There was software and hardware controllers.
My head is still spinning from all the stuff seen. I now need a month off to try and do all this stuff.
