MakerFaireATL 2016

2016 Planning

The Atlanta MakerFaire is billed as "The Greatest Show and Tell On Earth" and is one of the biggest Maker events of the year for us and is really important in helping us get the word out to locals that we have a Makerspace in Marietta, Cobb County.

In the past we have set up a booth and table show cases some of our member's projects. last year in 2015 we had Bret's RaspberryPi Photobooth set up and it was a big hit. We also entered cars in the Power Racing Series race held at the Faire.

We find that it is not possible to both a booth and race with the same people and need dedicated help for each activity.

Planning Kickoff Call 5-July 2016

The 2016 MakerFaire is happening Sat-Sun, October 1-2 in Decatur, GA Sat 9am-5pm Sun 10am-2pm

We need a volunteer to take lead on getting a booth setup and get other volunteers to help man the booth.

We need to decide what to put out on the booth: Bret's Photobooth, Robotics, RasPi Arcade, Kid's Maker Activities, 3D printed trinkets, flyers are all potential items.

We need some team members for the powerwheels teams. There is a moxie skit needed for the cars. Moxie can be used to promote the space
