The
San Diego Mini Maker Faire is coming up on December 7th, from 10 AM to 6 PM at the Bing Crosby Hall, on the Del Mar Fairgrounds.
For those of you who might not be familiar with a Maker Faire, see the following for a brief description:
The San Diego Mini Maker Faire is a one-day, family-friendly event that showcases local innovation and creativity. Part science fair, part county fair, and part something entirely new, the Mini Maker Faire will be an all-ages gathering that features “makers” of technology, arts, crafts, engineering, food, music, and science projects. The Faire is a great place to get involved in a hands-on exhibit, learn something new, or show off something you’ve made.
Exhibits at the Faire include robots, rocket launches, crafts, textiles, quad copters, 3D printers, demonstrations, performances, music, and much, much more. See Russell the Electric Giraffe towering 17 feet above the crowd, watch the Two-Bit Circus perform, cheer on the Frisbee-shooting robots. And you can become a maker too -- build a custom race car, make a marshmallow shooter, learn to solder, and launch your own air rocket!
The San Diego Mini Maker Faire is sponsored by Qualcomm, MakerPlace, the USD School of Engineering, 3D Robotics, and Make magazine.
