Mark you calendars for April 22-23 as Make Magazine is holding one of the coolest conferences you can imagine, Maker Faire. I’ve been a big fan of Make magazine for a while, I mean how can you not appreciate cool projects like Electric Giraffes or Roomba’s playing pool? Plus, the Mythbusters will be there and admission is only $12.50 :)
Well, the Coding4Fun team will be sponsoring Maker Faire and we’ll have lots of fun Express demos to show off that we’ll also host on the Coding4Fun Maker Faire page:
