Model Projects: Maker Faire Inspires Learning and Creativity

 "It's a rare occasion that draws 500 students and their teachers across school district lines to attend one giant educational workshop. It's even rarer that the field trip presents them with scores of hands-on projects that reinforce the everyday lessons being taught in the classroom.

But that's exactly what happens in the San Francisco Bay Area when secondary school classes flock to Maker Faire Education Day. At the May event, the first of its kind, two dozen inventors shared their ideas and creations -- from electronic gadgets to homemade instruments -- and discussed the scientific principles that make their work possible."
