Maker Faire Bay Area 2025

Creative Play Lab by SnackNotes

Home: California, United States

Come make your animations come alive with a mini-zoetrope you can build at the Maker Faire, try out"Meg-a-Sketch", our giant whiteboard Etch-a-Sketch contraption, and play with our DIY electronic music toys. We'll also share other fun maker projects designed to inspire young makers and their grownups to experiment, build, and create together at home. Last year, our"Animation Studio for Junior Makers"delighted kids and grownups alike with hands-on animation activities and this year we're bringing even more ways to spark creativity. SnackNotes is a project by Brian (dad of two and engineer) who develops these creative projects with his own kids and shares them so other families can easily explore artistic and engineering ideas together with simple, engaging activities and free educational resources.
