Austin Mini Maker Faire

Coming up this Sunday May 5, 2013 is what appears to be one of the funnest events in Austin. No I'm not talking SxSw. I am talking about the event that allows you to see great things other people have made and also allow you to tinker at different things yourself. According to the events website,
The Tinkering OpenShop will be an area where you’ll enjoy the freedom to wander through a world of “Sure! We can totally do that!” as opposed to “Gee, I don’t know that sounds impossible…” You’ll get some real tools, real materials, and a helping hand to make sure your adventure is safe and fun. I promise y’all (all ages welcome) will love ripping some old stuff to shreds and then re-using it to make something for yourself!

This is in fact the best DIY event, and we aren't talking home improvements here. No we are talking creativity like items operated by a single-board microcontroller to Robots. Sinply put it is the biggest "Show and Tell" in Austin for people of all ages. Best of all it's family friendly.
Makers range from tech enthusiasts to crafters to homesteaders to scientists to garage tinkerers. They are of all ages and backgrounds. The aim of Maker Faire is to entertain, inform, connect and grow this community.
