DISCOUNT CODES WILL NOT WORK FOR ON SITE TICKET SALES. If you're using a discount code, you must buy your tickets online at least one day ahead.

Rain plan: in the event of rain, the Mini Maker Faire will still be held. Sorry, but we cannot offer refunds in the event of rain.
Event FAQ:
Q: Who qualifies for the Child/Student ticket?
A: If you are under 18 and/or a full-time student you can register at that rate. Kids 2 and under do not need a ticket.
Q: Will you check for student IDs at the door?
A: Probably not. We'd rather trust you, and we're not that organized. Any money we make from this event benefits the scholarship fund at Park Day School, and all the energy going into the event is volunteered, so just be cool about it.
Q: What is included in the ticket price?
A: The ticket gets you in the door, where there'll be plenty to do with the various exhibits, workshops, musical performances, and general merriment. You may drop a few more dollars once you're inside though, if you buy food, crafts or DIY kits. Those are extra.
Q: Where is the list of exhibitors and activities?
A: See http://ebmakerfaire.wordpress.com/ for now; we will add a list soon.
Q: Who is putting this event on?
A: A few (possibly insane) parents of kids at Park Day School. We thought this would be a fun way to contribute to the Maker community and the PDS community, and bring more of the Maker-ethic into our kids school. We're enjoying doing it, though it's a lot of work!
Q: What is your relationship to O'Reilly Media, the producers of "the real Maker Faire?"
A: The folks at O'Reilly are wonderfully and generously supportive of our little effort, as they are of the many other Mini Maker Faires that have sprouted up around the country. They want to spread Maker culture, and they have a very open approach to doing that. We are inspired not only by their event, but by their philosophy. If you like Maker Faire or just making stuff in general, you should subscribe to Make Magazine: https://readerservices.makezine.com/MK/subscribe.aspx
Q: I'd like to exhibit!
A: Great! Please submit your ideas here: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/viewform?formkey=dEhuYmNLNzhnMVpvNHFXakE5Wk1kS1E6MA.

East Bay Mini Maker Faire
About East Bay Mini Maker Faire:
About Maker Faire:
Maker Faire 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, educators, tinkerers, hobbyists, engineers, artists, science clubs, students, authors, and commercial exhibitors. They are of all ages and backgrounds. Maker Faire’s mission is to entertain, inform, connect and inspire these thousands of Makers and aspiring Makers.
The inaugural Maker Faire was held in San Mateo, CA and in 2011 celebrated its sixth annual Bay Area event with some 100,000 people in attendance. As Maker Faire has grown in popularity and relevance, additional flagship faires were launched in 2010 in Detroit and New York City. Community-driven, independently produced Mini Maker Faire events inspired by Maker Faire are now being produced around the United States and the world, including this Mini Maker Faire.
About MAKE Magazine:
MAKEis the first magazine devoted entirely to Do-It-Yourself (DIY) technology projects. MAKE unites, inspires, informs, and entertains a growing community of resourceful people who undertake amazing projects in their backyards, basements, and garages. MAKE celebrates your right to tweak, hack, and bend any technology to your will.
About O'Reilly Media:
O'Reilly Media spreads the knowledge of innovators through its books, online services, magazines and conferences. Since 1978, O'Reilly Media has been a chronicler and catalyst of cutting-edge development, homing in on the technology trends that really matter and spurring their adoption by amplifying "faint signals" from the alpha geeks who are creating the future. An active participant in the technology community, the company has a long history of advocacy, meme-making and evangelism.
