Join Us for Maker Faire Bay Area 2014!

Join Us for Maker Faire Bay Area 2014!

The LA 3-D Club will once again be participating in the Bay Area Maker Faire, to be held on May 17-18, 2014 in the San Francisco area. Club President Eric Kurland will once again be curating a space called the 3-D Village, featuring a collection of exhibits dedicated to stereoscopic visualization projects. We would love to have club members join us to show off their work – photos and videos, home brew camera rigs and projectors, paintings and sculptures, interactive performance, etc. – anything and everything cool that’s being done in 3-D. We will also be presenting workshops throughout the weekend, and would love to volunteers to help teach the basics of stereography to the public. Several members took part in the event the last six years and had a fantastic time. We are looking forward to seeing many of you there again this year!

A little more about Maker Faire:

Part science fair, part county fair, and part something entirely new, Maker Faire is an all-ages gathering of tech enthusiasts, crafters, educators, tinkerers, hobbyists, engineers, science clubs, authors, artists, students, and commercial exhibitors. All of these “makers” come to Maker Faire to show what they have made and to share what they have learned.

The launch of Maker Faire in the Bay Area in 2006 demonstrated the popularity of making and interest among legions of aspiring makers to participate in hands-on activities and learn new skills at the event. A record 195,000 people attended the two flagship Maker Faires in the Bay Area and New York in 2013. Also in 2013, 98 independently-produced Mini and Featured Maker Faires occurred around the world, including Tokyo, Rome, Santiago, and Oslo.

Maker Faire is primarily designed to be forward-looking, showcasing makers who are exploring new forms and new technologies. But it’s not just for the novel in technical fields; Maker Faire features innovation and experimentation across the spectrum of science, engineering, art, performance and craft.

Maker Faire is brought to you by Maker Media.  Maker Media publishes MAKE magazine, produces Maker Faire, and offers DIY electronics, tools, kits, and books through its online and pop-up Maker Shed stores.
