Maker Faire Detroit is coming up fast, don’t wait for the last minute to submit your project! Even projects exhibited under i3Detroit’s umbrella need to apply separately, so the organizers know what to expect (and promote).

Please pass the word to everyone you know who might have something to share. The Call for Makers page has a good list of topics that might jog your memory of someone to approach. A project need not be revolutionary or polished to be at the Faire — remember, the point is that ordinary folks can and do make things!

Fire! Meat! Potato salad! It must be barbecue season, and we’re throwing one to celebrate our first anniversary. Everyone’s welcome — members, family, friends, total strangers! Mark your calendar now…

i3Detroit’s first meeting was held April 28th, 2009. We’ll be celebrating on April 25th, which is a Sunday. Shindig gets under way around noon, and runs until whenever. We’ll have grills, pop, and Nerf guns. Bring grillables, side dishes, and friends!
