The Ann Arbor Hands-On Museum has participated in the Detroit Maker Faire (and two mini-fairs) over the last two years.  Our display this year was a 40 by 40 foot tent.  We still marvel at the response from everyone - including the judges that awarded our team five Maker Awards.  We welcomed thousands of people over the weekend.  We were jammed from open to close.  We revealed GEAKIAC,  a wacky innovation exhibit complete with a whimsical computer and mechanical interface.  Our Outreach team offered a series of environmental activities designed for children and tweens.  We brought prototypes of several simple, table-top and "co-created" types of exhibits.   One of our partners provided a station to construct sensor pads and electronic devices.  Overall, I think we had twelve team members (staff, partners and volunteers) involved in Maker Faire.  I highly recommend participation in Maker Faire.    As one might imagine, we would be very interested in participating in a session.
