"Virtually" Maker Faire Starts Today

TL;DR

Looks like they are doing a Virtual Maker Fair online

I just got an e-mail that there is a Virtually [sic] Maker Faire online that is starting now. I've been to real Maker Faires in the past in-person, and they are very interesting and inspiring. Here is the web link:

Virtually Maker Faire Starts Tonight!

Around the world makers have been rallying, rising up to solve shortages in medical supplies and equipment, turning makerspaces into micro-factories, creating self-organized community networks, and developing clever distribution strategies. For our inaugural Virtually Maker Faire, makers representing 25 countries will share over 350 presentations, demonstrations, and online project exhibits. Programming is curated into five tracks: Community Organizing, Learning & Teaching, Re-Thinking the Future, Design & Production, and Making.

Virtually Maker Faire is a stage for makers to connect, share, and learn with each other and a broader public, and show how the community fostered by Maker Faire has sprung into action, using their skills and talents to solve for human needs.

Plan out your virtual day with the full schedule or meet some of our fantastic makers.

Did you make it to this one?

No, never even got a chance to click into it. Been busy with work (at home), unfortunately.

Making money instead.

Hmm. 3D print money? Minus the jail time that sounds interesting.

@berkeman - yep very doubtful.

But I just got an e-mail with the "highlights" of the faire. Maybe someday soon I'll have time to click into some of the links...
