We're currently putting together the details of what Noisebridge's presence at Maker Faire will be like in 2017. If you have a project you are interested in showing this year please contact Jarrod

Projects for 2017

We will be showing the following two projects at Maker Faire 2017.

The Ordi Booth is a computer which uses a computer to interpret images of people and then draw them with little robot hand(s).

SIMBRIDGE will bring Noisebridge to Maker Faire via the magic of virtual reality, display the projects of the Gamebridge class/group, and provide an augmented reality experiece at MakerFaire.
