MAKE magazine crashes Toon in March Festival

From out of nowhere, MAKE has established itself as one of the hottest new brands in the magazine publishing
industry.

But the real story here is the curiosity, vibrancy and passion of Makers, the people who comprise the rapidly emerging ‘tech
DIY’ category – scientists, homemakers, students, car enthusiasts, software developers, musicians, crafters. Individuals and
communities of people drawn together by a common delight in the magic of tinkering, hacking, and creating unexpected
new uses for the technology in their lives.

Maker Faire seeks to inspire, inform, connect and entertain thousands of Makers and aspiring Makers of all ages and back-
grounds through the public gathering of tech enthusiasts, crafters, educators, tinkerers, hobbyists, students, authors and
commercial exhibitors.

The first UK Maker Faire will take place in Newcastle 14-15 March 2009 as part of Newcastle ScienceFest – a 10 day festival
celebrating creativity and innovation.
