Travis County Fairgrounds
October 20-21, 2007 Arts • Crafts • Engineering • Green • Music • Science

Maker Faire is a two-day, family-friendly event that celebrates arts, crafts, engineering, science projects and the Do-It-Yourself (DIY) mindset. Creative, resourceful folks who like to tinker and love to make things are called Makers.

  • During the faire, Calcars will convert a Prius Hybrid into a plug-in vehicle that gets 100+miles per gallon, which can be powered with any form of electricity.
  • Blubber is new generation of a floating DIY robotic species with the capability to navigate autonomously and intelligently belong to a family of “Transitional Species.”
  • Build Fantasy Creatures in 3D using just garden tomato baskets, papier mâché, plaster and fiberglass, molded by lots of little hands and your wonderful imagination!
  • Botanicalls will demonstrate how thirsty plants place phone calls for human help whenever they need water, opening new channels of communication and promoting inter-species cohabitation.
  • High-Tech Pumpkins made with electronics, robotics, and carving: a Cylon jack-o-lantern, a remote-controlled pumpkin Dalek and other high-tech squash.

Build, CRAFT, hack, play, MAKE.
