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\nFaire Tokyo<\/strong><\/a>\nshowcases the amazing work of all kinds and ages of makers – anyone who is\nembracing the do-it-yourself (or do-it-together) spirit and wants to share\ntheir accomplishments with an appreciative audience. As commented by Dale\nDaugherty, founder of the \u201cmaker movement\u201d, \u201cMaker Faire Tokyo was, as always,\nspecial. The question I ask everyone there is why there is so much\noriginal, creative work in Tokyo, so many side projects done just for\nfun. The Faire had about 300 makers (somewhat smaller due to venue\nconstraints) but had about 24,000 people<\/strong> over the weekend.\u201d Check-out the below video<\/a> and series of video\nshorts<\/a>\nthat Dale created to share his experience with others. <\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n Want to learn more about featured Maker\nFaires in other countries<\/strong>?
