Maker Faire Bay Area

Maker Faire Bay Area 2024 took place on Mare Island on October 18-20. We had a great turnout with 27,000 people on site over three days to experience 350 maker exhibits and dozens of presentations and hands-on activities. Among the performances were Diet Coke and Mentos by EepyBird, Mario the Maker Magician and Science Bob from CrunchLabs with a special appearance by Mark Rober. It was an incredible event — the best that Maker Faire can be! We hope to see you this fall along at the historic Mare Island Naval Shipyard along the scenic Napa River.

Making things light up: Lights for clothes, accessories, props & more

Ever wanted to shed a bit of light on your clothes or accessories? Wanted to not get in the dark and make stuff that lights up? Two educators & makers want to help make lights accessible to the art, design, performing arts & maker community, and we want to make a book that champions project-based learning! From non-electronic lights, fairy lights to programmable LED strips, our book covers troubleshooting, debugging, and safety that progresses along with the projects. We will bring demos and make & takes of these sample projects, so you can get a hands-on preview of our book!
