They call it “the Greatest Show (and Tell) on Earth” — a gathering of the curious and creative, inventive and imaginative. This Saturday, April 13 from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m., the annual Maker Faire will bring together everyone from scientists to engineers to artists for a chance to showcase experiments and projects. It’s a day to celebrate creativity as a tool for making the world a better place.
Maker Faire was launched in the San Francisco Bay area in 2006 by the editors of Make: magazine. Nowadays, these events happen all over the world — but it seems uniquely suited to a place like Asheville. With our area’s marriage of manufacturing and art, there’s no shortage of local makers to fill the booths.
Inside this year’s event, you’ll find robotics, sonic interactive experiences, paper roller coasters, woodworking, and puppet creatures, among a host of other maker exhibits.
