“MythBusters host Adam Savage announced:

— Zenon Evans, reason.com

Anouk Wipprecht

“I see the Maker Movement and these types of Maker Faires as being important for fostering innovation. The result is that more and more people create products instead of only consuming them, and it’s my view that moving people from being only consumers to creators is critical to America’s future.”

— Tim Bajarin, TIME

Over 100 Makers exhibiting at Maker Faire Bay Area have raised a total of $23M on Kickstarter.

“Makers tap into an American admiration for self-reliance and combine that with open-source learning, contemporary design and powerful personal technology like 3-D printers.”

— Joan Voight, Ad Week

Drones, Rockets, and Planes

“The World Maker Faire is clearly the successor to The World’s Fair out of the sheer will and force of the Maker

Movement. The vendors and exhibits range from the garage startup to the corporate monolith. This relationship is unique in its open acceptance and

reliance on one another, both culturally and economically.”

“Maker Faire is about much more than an attempt to sell products to hobbyists – it is, at its heart, an event about sharing experiences and creations, and enjoying what the rest of the community has to offer.”
