Maker Faire Bay Area 2015

It was our first year attending the Maker Faire, and we were all excited.  Unfortunately, we were not able to bring a group of students to the special Education day on Friday, but definitely next year.   The plan eventually is to have our own booth for our students to showcase their work.  

It was hard getting our bearings at first: so many things to do and see.  As overwhelming as it all was at first, it was still so much fun!  Our goal was  to not only see gadgets to buy and projects we could try out in our own space, but also to get exhibitors/companies to come talk about all the cool things they do with our students. 

Some of our favorites included the Carousel of Physics because students were explaining Physic concepts through their own projects,  the fire-shooting giant sculptures because it warmed the air, and the talking Dalek because one of us is Whovian :-).

Some photos from our time there:
Happy Making!
