The Daily Record said it best: \u201cDubbed the \u2018Greatest Show and\nTell on Earth\u2019; over 1,200 people<\/strong> flocked to the third annual faire at the University\nof Akron Wayne College last May.  It was a fresh experience with favorite makers from last year<\/strong> coming back along\nwith new makers<\/strong> and new things to see\nand do.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Maker Faire Bay Area 2019<\/strong> was also in May, the largest Maker Faire in the world!  Thousands\nof attendees experienced hundreds of hands-on and interactive exhibits, eight\nstages brimming with presentations, performances and how-to\u2019s across science,\nart, craft and engineering.  Adam Savage inspired maker with his \u201cSunday\nSermon\u201d.  Folks tried their hands at circuitry, lace making, and light\nsaber training, while others honed their drone operator chops with the Museum of Future Sports.<\/strong>  There was\nmobile architecture in the Tiny Home Zone, feats of flex and power on the Dance\nBattle stage, even the SFBazaar to shop for handmade and hard-to-find crafts.\n Big art! Droids! Robots! Racecars! Drones! Fire!  Glimpse the future\nand get inspired at Maker Faire!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Another group that participated in the Wayne County Mini\nMaker Faire is Zips Electric Racing<\/a>.<\/strong> \nAn all-electric race car<\/strong> is built each\nyear by University of Akron students using Formula SAE rules (open-wheel style,\nmini-F1).  Their project includes Mechanical Engineering, Electrical\nEngineering, Computer Engineering, and extensive manufacturing and testing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Formula SAE\/Formula Student encompasses students to engage themselves into a work environment<\/strong>\nsimilar to the engineering industry. These students are challenged to\nincorporate their classroom knowledge into effective designs related to the\nautomotive industry. In the end, the experience and opportunity young students\ngain from such an engineering project produces engineers not found in classrooms alone.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rounding out our participating makers is Gregory Peterson of Arcanaclast: Dungeoncraft and\nMiniatures<\/a>.<\/strong>  Gregory uses a number of techniques and\nmediums, including 3D printing, sculpture and painting, to create fantasy tabletop miniatures<\/strong> for games and\ndisplays.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Experimenting with a multitude of media, Gregory Peterson has\nbeen crafting \/ sculpting \/ painting \/ building all kinds of nerdy things over\nthe past year. Professionally a graphic designer,<\/strong>\nhe uses his artistic talents outside the office for his passion of fantasy and role-playing games.<\/strong> He is always\nexcited to expand his knowledge of non-traditional media and platforms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If\nyou would like to know more about Dan\u2019s sustainability\nand green energy initiatives, Zips Electric Racing\u2019s cool electric race car, or\nGregory\u2019s fantasy tabletop miniatures, please reply to this email!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
