This coming Saturday, February 24, the MAKE: team is holding open "auditions" for Maker Faire from 10am to 2pm at the open-access DIY space TechShop in Menlo Park. MAKE: founder Dale Dougherty, Maker Faire director Sherry Huss, Maker community manager Natalie Villalobos, and I will be there along with other editors. If you're working on a neat project and would like to show it off and meet other makers, please sign up and come on by! Thanks a lot! (photos by Scott Beale)
Here are the details:
This is an opportunity to demonstrate your project and discuss it with Make's editors. We are looking specifically for projects for this year's Maker Faire, which will be held May 19-20 at the San Mateo Fairgrounds. We will also consider the best project for a future issue of Make magazine.
In addition, a NY-based film crew will be on-hand to record this session. We will also have seating for about 30 people if you'd like to watch the auditions. In addition, it's a great opportunity to get a tour of TechShop's new facility.
If you would like to demonstrate a project at the February 24th audition, please contact Natalie Villalobos by email (natalie@oreilly.com) so we can put you on the schedule.
Directions to TechShop here.
P.S. Please don't get hung up on the word "auditions." Consider it a preview. We are interested in seeing your work and understanding how we can feature it best at Maker Faire. We will be talking about your project, trying to evaluate it for the Make and Maker Faire audience.
