The Seattle Maker Faire is this weekend, Saturday & Sunday at the Seattle Center, 10am – 5pm in the NorthWest rooms.
Tickets are required, but I might be able to score us some free passes; stay tuned for that news. There are periodic demonstrations and a host of booths & exhibits to get ideas and inspiration for your own Do It Yourself projects. Come to Get Inspired! Then go home and build it yourself!
Also at the Seattle Center on Saturday (only)!
While you are at Seattle Center Saturday, you can also check out a bunch of Robots at Robothon 2012 at the Center House (also 10am-5pm, Saturday only). And if you are into Game Design, you might want to consider iFest 2012 on Saturday (9:30pm – 6pm), which requires pre-registration. It will be a great day to be at the Seattle Center!
