Maker Faire is the Greatest Show (and Tell) on Earth—a family-friendly showcase of invention, creativity and resourcefulness, and a celebration of the Maker movement. It’s a place where people show what they are making, and share what they are learning.
Makers range from tech enthusiasts to crafters to homesteaders to scientists to garage tinkerers. They are of all ages and backgrounds. The aim of Maker Faire is to entertain, inform, connect and grow this community.
The original Maker Faire was held in San Mateo, CA and in 2013 celebrated its eighth annual Bay Area event with some 900 makers and 120,000 people in attendance. World Maker Faire New York, the other flagship event, has grown in four years to 600+ makers and 75,000 attendees. Detroit, Kansas City, Rome, Oslo, Tokyo, Newcastle (UK), and Shenzhen are the home of "featured" 2014 Maker Faires (200+ makers), and almost 100 community-driven, independently organized Mini Maker Faires are now being produced around the United States and the world, including right here in Portland.

Tea Maker at Hashem Restaurant - a very popular and i guess pretty old restaurant located in the central Amman, Jordan
An event to celebrate crafts, engineering, science projects, etc. For and by all ages.All of these “makers” come to Maker Faire to show what they have made and to share what they have learned. Maker Faire is primarily designed to be forward-looking, showcasing makers who are exploring new forms and new technologies.

Pretty much sums up what you see when you walk in.
I really wish that head wasn't there, but in that crowd this was as close as I could get.
30 August 2014, Jakarta - We held a LoFi Maker Party event together with Michelle Thorne, the Global Strategist Webmaker from Mozilla. The event held at Taman Suropati, Central Jakarta, Indonesia.
Most collectors turn their noses up at diecasts from the cheapo Chinese toy makers but I love them especially when they produce vehicles not often found in this scale and price point. I've discovered LOTS of new Chinese brands over the last 10 months or so and one of my latest finds is a company called Shuang Da who have a nice range of 1/64 convertible models. One of them is this Audi A4 Cabriolet which although clearly isn't an official product it is easily recognisable from its previous life as a licensed High Speed casting. Quality is acceptable and at least it does have painted lights and grille plus an interior. The graphics are typically Chinese but are perhaps no worse than some of the ones used by Hot Wheels! Part of a five vehicle set. Mint and boxed.
We had a blast at the first meetup for Tam Makers, our new makerspace in Mill Valley. We hosted this free event at the wood shop at Tamalpais High School in Mill Valley on June 8, 2016.
A diverse group of people came to the visit the shop, learn about our classes and discuss how to grow our maker community. Participants ranged from experienced artists, technologists, makers and woodworkers, to people interested in learning new skills, as well as high school and middle school students and their parents.
We opened the shop at 6pm and folks started to connect right away, checking out some of our demos, showing off recent projects and touring the space. At 7pm, we gave a presentation on Tam Makers, and talked about our first courses, meetups and tools for adults and youth. We then discussed these programs as a group and received some really helpful feedback.
Most people were very interested in participating in Tam Makers and using the makerspace regularly. They also liked the mix of classes, ranging from maker art to technology and woodworking. Some people signed up for classes on the spot and most wanted to join more meetups. Many offered to volunteer as well. One person said this event had a great community feeling, unlike more commercially motivated makerspaces.
We’re really happy that this first meetup went so well and that so many folks want to participate actively. We look forward to collaborating with our new maker friends very soon!

Maker Faire 2017 was bigger, louder and hotter than previous years. Many of the attractions were still the same, but they felt more grown up. I particularly enjoyed the illuminated art in the Dark Room, such as Peter Hudson’s 3D Stroboscopic Zoetrope. I also enjoyed all the ingenious robot exhbits and the Traveling Spectacular’s vaudeville performance
I gave a talk about our Maker Art classes on Sunday morning. We teach children to create magical worlds together, combining art, tech and storytelling. Our students get really engaged in the process, which helps them develop their creative, problem-solving and social skills.
The presentation was well received by a great group of teachers, parents and kids. I connected with several librarians and teachers interested in teaching Maker Art in their communities. And one mom reached out to me afterwards to say this was the best talk she heard this year.
Maker Faire remains the Mecca for Bay Area DIY hobbyists and it was well worth the trip for me. I made some good connections after my talk and learned more about robots for our next classes. Onwards!

Profile:
Code name: “Mask Maker”
Real Name: Unknown
Species: Turaga (formerly)
Gender: Male
Kanohi: Various. Normally Cahtapier
Powers and Weapons: “Mask Maker” is normally seen wielding a craftsman hammer and firestaff. Abilities usually vary, but some constants are weak elemental powers of Iron, Magnetism, Fire, Stone, Earth, and Plasma. As well as being able to use more powerful mask than just Noble Kanohi.
Personality: Not much is known of his personality outside of reputation. A wise sage gone mad on a path for power. Merciless, emotionless, and very cruel. Greatly envious of beings of great power.
Background: Between training sessions and missions, many rumors and tales spread between hunters. None more concerning than the one simply known as "Mask Maker." An envious being that captures beings of greater power and turns them into Kanohi. If not for screams, let alone the pounding, most older hunters would dismiss it as another Turaga story just to keep them in line. But the "Mask Maker" is very real, and will turn others into masks of power.
Many good hunters have been lost to "Mask Maker's" envy, leading to speculation as to why he's allowed to stay on the island. Others like "Eliminator" had been forced off the island for similar actions. So why not "Mask Maker?" Perhaps their leader wished to learn how he transferred other being's powers into objects. Perhaps its to thin out hunters who were growing powerful enough to challenge for the throne. Maybe it was all that and more.
And as with so many hunters of such mystery comes the question of how "Mask Maker" came to be. There are many tales, but none so popular as this one. Once "Mask Maker" was a mere Toa of Iron, hero of his little pathetic village of Matoran. Then came the Makuta to wipe out the threat such Toa posed. Fearing for his life, he sacrificed his power and became a sickly Turaga, something so worthless the Makuta just passed him over. But this early weakened state before his proper time drove him to the brink of madness. Seeking power, he turned on fellow Turaga first and forced them into this new fusion. Still not as powerful as he once was, he sought more. Should you see him eyeing you, flee while you can else you become his new face. Though perhaps you should just kill yourself, for that is a better destiny than to join the screams.
Builder's Notes: So, that's "Mask Maker." Not the most happy with this one, mostly because of the arms. With how I built it to get the masks aligned like that, I couldn't quite get an angle/distance away from the torso I liked to where the arms could move. That and the arms couldn't support ball joint pieces very well, so they're frozen in place. Maybe I'll try this one again some day.
Other than that, he's supposed to somewhat look like a Turaga Nui. I think I've managed to achieve that decently, but perhaps next time I need a more Technic build.
