Calling All Dallas/Ft. Worth Area Makers - Join Us for "An Afternoon at Maker Faire" on July 19th.

Make Magazine, Craft Magazine and the Maker Faire team will be coming to Dallas to host an "Afternoon At Maker Faire" at The Museum of Nature and Science on Saturday, July 19th (from 9am - 5pm).

We will bring together Dallas/Ft. Worth area makers to exhibit their creative projects for a fun afternoon at The Museum. We are hoping to have cutting-edge DIY projects based around art, robots, electronics, alternative crafts, new music and interactive art and we are inviting all area Makers. If you are interested in being a part of this special event, please email sherry@oreilly.com for more information, and be sure to include some information about your project. And, if you know of any Dallas/Ft. Worth area Makers that we should be talking to, please be sure to send them our way.

came, saw, hmmmm?

I took my 12-year-old and we were a bit dismayed at the number (or lack thereof) of Maker Faire related exhibitors/demonstrators. The musical Tesla coils were pretty cool, I have to say. And the guy with the bike tracker/zapper had some cool stuff he had Made: but other than that, I dunno. Maybe I was expecting too much. A couple of promo tables from Make: and Craft: and that was about it.

Oh, the Yarn Car was pretty neat, too.

So sure, let's hear from the "why didn't you make anything?" crowd. But I've got to say, where were you?
