Maker Faire Gets Rolling

Things are starting to spin up nicely at the fairgrounds, with Education Day playing host to some 1,000 kids from local area schools this morning. The kids got to preview the show, watch demos and performances and discuss projects with 75 makers. They sure looked (and sounded) like they were having a ball.
