AmericaJR’s Jason Rzucidlo reports from The Henry Ford in Dearborn for the 2016 Maker Faire Detroit. It is the Greatest Show (and Tell) on Earth—a family-friendly showcase of invention, creativity and resourcefulness, and a celebration of the Maker Movement. It’s a place where people show what they are making, and share what they are learning. Makers range from tech enthusiasts to crafters to homesteaders to scientists to garage tinkerers. They are of all ages and backgrounds. The aim of Maker Faire is to entertain, inform, connect and grow this community. Maker Faire Detroit returned to The Henry Ford for two days of unconventional ingenuity, unbridled creativity and a whole lot of forward thinking.
