A High-tech County Fair At The Maker Faire 2006 |

Attendees were amazed by The Cubicle's 'Fire' Truck, which doubled as a platform for teaching welding, torch cutting, blacksmithing and glass flame working workshops; robots slinging miniature tennis balls in a hockey-like game designed by Stanford Mechatronics students; a remote-controlled humanoid robot doing back flips; ZAP!'s free test drive of its three-wheeled electric vehicle Xebra; and so much more.
The event also appealed to people who has inventor dreams as a couple of workshops actually let people create their own 'inventions'. There were workshops on robot hacking, pin-hole photography, water rockets, and dozens of other unique DIY projects. It was but expected that the Maker Faire drew in some of the tech industry's bigwigs - Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak, Google co-founder Larry Page, and Make Magazine publisher Dale Dougherty were all present. It sounded really fun. Dang... next year, I'm so there.
