This year, Maker Faire Austin will host over 200 makers from Texas and beyond. You can do anything from chemistry to breakdancing while you see amazing projects from all over the world. See the Tin Spider, a walking dome with massive mechanical legs inspired by Theo Jansen’s Strandebeests. Watch the Maker Faire Fashion Show for very inspiring wearable art. Check out the souped-up toys like Robot Resurrection, a 30-foot fire-shooting robot, a drone fly zone with drone obstacle course, racing, and battles. See an electrifying performance by Arc Attack, and much more.
