Maker Faire Proposals - Deadline this Sunday, March 18th at Midnight

Hi Crafters! We've been getting some amazing proposals for the Maker Faire, but we would like to hear from you! Just a reminder that our extended deadline for Maker Faire Bay Area proposals ends this Sunday, March 18th at midnight PST.

Last year, we did accept a bunch of proposals up until the week before the Faire because it's hard to say no to cool projects. However, accepting late proposals means that the programs and maps for attendees weren't as helpful as they could be. So, to demonstrate that we learned something from having done this once, we really want to give ourselves (and you) the time to do it right. Thanks for your help.

Here are some ideas for topics that we're looking for:

Halloween projects (props, costumes, interactive displays, music)
Recycled things
Ham radios
Weather stations
Cars (hot rods, custom vans, especially with a tech flavor)
Airplanes and aeronautics (models, etc.)
History of science & engineering
Biology/biotech
Chemistry
Cool RC toys & mods
Video games (retro, arcade, and more)
Trains
Looms (historical or unusual)
Sewing demonstrations
Kites
Boats
Old farm or garden equipment (tractors, etc.)
Temporary structures (tents, domes, etc.)
Unusual tools or machines
How to fix things or take them apart (vacuums, clocks, washing machines, etc.)
