Boston Mini Maker Faire
The first Boston Mini Maker Faire is happening on Saturday April 24 from 12-4pm. Come and meet some Boston Area makers sharing and demoing their projects as part of the Cambridge Science Festival. I’ll be there with some of the weekend projects that I share on this blog.
I first found out about the faire through Dorkbot Boston and am so excited that there is going to be an event so close to me. Though I am going to be flying out to San Francisco next month for the big Bay Area Maker Faire, I am going as a spectator and not demoing, so it’s nice to have the opportunity involved in one of these events as a participant. This will definitely be less overwhelming than two full days of makers!
I’ll be bringing my LED Jellies, Temperature Sensing Coffee/Tea Sleeve, and my Drawdio Puppet along with me if anyone local wants to stop by and play with them. I just placed an order for some parts for the light up necklace I was working on last week, so that might make it into the mix as well.
It’s a shame the mini-Faire’s website doesn’t seem to be finished – everything but the front page is blank for me.
Thank you for calling it out – and Dorkbot too – I’ve only just recently moved to Boston (from the UK) and I’m trying to find as much nerdy-sciency-techy goodness to get involved with as possible!
It looks like the page might be filled in with more content after the faire happens. There’s more info on the facebook page, including descriptions of all the projects there. If you can make it out to the Cambridge Science Festival it looks like it’s going to be a lot of fun and there are a ton of activities/events going on.
Great site. glad to see all of the make mag stuff around. I enjoy the mag myself. Hope we are able to hit the maker faire this weekend.
