Chris Anderson shows off his open source UAS developed by the online community at DIYDrones at the annual Maker Faire held San Mateo, California last weekend on the outskirts of Silicon Valley.
Organized by the staff of MAKE magazine, makezine.com and craftzine.com, Maker Faire is a newfangled fair that brings together science, art, craft and engineering plus music in a fun, energized, and exciting public forum. The aim is to inspire people of all ages to roll up their sleeves and become makers. This family-friendly event showcases the amazing work of all kinds of makers – anyone who is embracing the DIY spirit and wants to share their accomplishments with an appreciative audience.
Lego, robots, crazy bicycles, electronics, flaming things, and a giant rocket – these are just some of the attractions of the annual event – Regional Maker Faires will be held in Detroit July 31 and Aug. 1 of this year and in New York Sept. 25 and 26.
