Calling all Makers in Houston, TX 9/16 - The Children's Museum of Houston

Make 1089
This past May, a jaw-dropping 45,000 people gathered at the San Mateo Fairgrounds in California for an event some called, "The Woodstock for inventors." A one-of-a-kind event for tech geeks, crafty hipsters, DIY lovers, and basically, anyone who builds anything--from 7 year-olds to 70 year olds--Maker Faire brought together people from over 10 different countries and 36 different states. This fall, the award-winning Maker Faire is coming to Austin, Texas --October 20 & 21 at the Travis County Fairgrounds.

In preparation for the Texas event, our team from Make magazine will be on-hand at the Children's Museum of Houston, Sunday, September 16, to preview potential crafters and inventors who are interested in exhibiting in the October Faire in Austin. Scheduling 15-minute "auditions," the team will offer input and expertise to would-be competitors.

We're looking for anyone who has something fun to share, something they've made with their hands. It can be practical or impractical--it could be something simple like a creative Halloween costume or maybe some handmade jewelry. Or it could be something wild like a bike with ten wheels, or a dog-powered lawn mower. Whatever it is, the more creative and imaginative, the better!

When: Sunday, September 16 (1 p.m. - 5 p.m.)
Where: Children's Museum of Houston
1500 Binz Houston, Texas 77004
713.522.1138
Audition contact: Sherry Huss, sherry@oreilly.com
