This morning, we announced that The Henry Ford and MAKE Magazine are teaming up to bring you Maker Faire Detroit next summer! If you’re not familiar with Maker Faire, here’s a quick synopsis from their Web site:
Maker Faire is a two-day, family-friendly event that celebrates the Do-It-Yourself (DIY) mindset. It’s for creative, resourceful people of all ages and backgrounds who like to tinker and love to make things. So much to see, you will need 2 days to see it all!
Basically, Maker Faire Detroit will be the ultimate tinkerer’s event, at the home of America’s greatest tinkerers and innovators.
We’ll pass along more details as we get closer to the event, so stay tuned!
Woohoo, it’s finally official! I think I speak for all of i3Detroit when I say we can’t wait!
Speaking from experience with August’s mini Maker Faire out in Ann Arbor, though, I’m really glad we have a physical space to work in the *other* 363 days of the year. Being psyched up for the faire is one thing, being psyched up and having the resources to build neat stuff is even better! We’ve already got some plans in the works, and hope to have all sorts of cool things to show off next July.
Awesome! Can’t wait to see what you guys come up with – should be a great time!
