MakerFaireDetroit

Maker Faire Detroit is July 27 & 28 at the Henry Ford Museum in Dearborn, Michigan.  It is mostly an outdoor event, where many #Makers,  young and old, new and expert, come to show off their work and talk about their passions. It is a pretty large event (not quite the size of Maker Faire NY or Bay area). In addition to tables and booths, there are many Demos, Workshops, Talks, Performances. Tickets are $28 for ages 12 and up, ($14 if you are a member of The henry Ford), $10 for ages 4-11, free under age 4. While you are there, maybe stay a second day and check out Greenfield Village?

MakerEd Convening

The Fifth Annual MakerEd Convening will be held in Pittsburg on October 12th & 13th. It is a gathering of national (international ?) Maker Educators. The cost is $250 through July 31, when it goes up to $375. The Children's Museum of Pittsburgh is an awesome place, and this year they just opened an adjacent space for  older kids (teens) called MuseumLab.
