I'm so excited about this. I went ot my first Maker Faire last year when it came to Austin, and it was great! I didn't get to stay as long as I had hoped because I had my oldest son with me at the time, and he was only about a year old and fussy. Still, I saw some great booths and exhibits, some of which will be back this year (I hope).

A brief summary, from the website:

LEARN TO MAKE, CRAFT, DESIGN OR DEVELOP:
• Robots • Rockets • Bicycles • Alternative Energy Devices • Electronics • Crafts
• Circuit Boards • Sustainable Food • Musical Instruments • Wood Working
• Knitting • Eco Modding Cars • Kites • Special Effects • Sewing • and more...

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. So much to see, you will need 2 days to see it all!
