This weekend thousands of geeks crowded into the San Mateo fairgrounds for Maker Faire, a celebration of crafts, engineering, science projects and the Do-It-Yourself projects put on by Craft and Make Magazines. For those of you who have never attended the event it's a mixture of the world's largest science fair, a craft festival with a mini dose of Renaissance Faire (seriously, there were people jousting and dressed up in corsets, though I am still not 100 percent sure why). I will be sharing stories about some of my favorite geeks in attendance all week, but here is a little teaser of some of the most exciting exhibits at the event.

How cool is that???
1OH WOW! I can't believe you went to that! I have been reading stories about it on make. That is so so so awesome. I can't wait to hear more! Make is an awesome website.
2I'm anxious to hear/see more about this!
3Looks like fun. And really, no convention is complete without someone in a corset.
4The Maker fair looks like it was so much fun!
5i went to that this year. it was definitely a little bigger, but i must admit that it was better last year. more content. more fashion. and the sawp-o-rama-rama was waaaay bigger. although this one did have its cool attributes (ie. the robot wars, the mentos and diet coke fountain show, and the garlic fries haha) Lots of fun though!
