Maker Faire Behind the Scenes

摘要

We've written in the past about how great it is to attend Maker Faire. The hundreds of projects and characters are more than you can fit into the tiny weekend timeframe you get to see it all. But there is a great way to get even more out of Maker Faire: Be an exhibitor! This year for World Maker Faire, I organized a group of my 3D Printing Providence teammates and a few of our AS220 Labs members to show as a group. This was a great opportunity for us to get more exposure for some of the projects we have been working on and to make new contacts to enable future projects. We showed a half dozen projects from art to electronics, 3D printing to 3D painting. Some of our grander plans didn't work out. but our overall showina was a home run.
