Last Saturday, I checked out the Maker Faire at the San Mateo Expo Center. Although their tagline reads “The World’s Largest DIY Festival,” I was still surprised by its scale and the amount of attendees. But most of all by the Maker Faire’s eclectic gathering of events from robots to steam punks, cheese making to screen printing, alternative vehicles, a life-size mouse trap and iron sculptures that spit fire. The Maker Faire had something for everyone, and I mean EVERYONE! Despite the crowds and the long lines, my husband and I checked out as much as we could and had a great time making cards, screen printing tote bags and attempting our own diy fashion designs. K
