East Bay Mini Maker Faire 2013

What and why: A Maker Faire is about celebrating learning and doing – not the finished and perfect end product.  It's a place to share what we're learning with others, and celebrate the fun and freedom of being an amateur.

Featuring both established and emerging local "makers," the East Bay Mini Maker Faire is a family-friendly celebration coming to Oakland for its fourth year on Sunday, October 20, 2013.  It will feature rockets and robots, digital fabrication, DIY science and technology, urban farming and sustainability, alternative energy, bicycles, unique hand-made crafts, music and local food, and educational workshops and installations..

The East Bay Mini Maker Faire follows the "big" Maker Faire model of celebrating invention, creativity, and resourcefulness, but is smaller in scale (170 makers vs. 900 makers; 5,000 people on one day vs. 65,000) and will showcase the wonders of Alameda and Contra Costa counties and beyond!
