The Maker Faire Yearbook Project
Every year Maker Faires take place across the world, each unique yet all part of the broader maker movement. Thousands of makers and participants imagine, invent, play, learn, inspire, connect, and celebrate our community. This digital yearbook is an attempt to preserve the essence of the faires that took place throughout the year, to document the diverse range of creativity and talents of makers, and to forge connections and collaborations among makers into the future.
