Wikinews attended the Mini Maker Faire in Tyler, Texas on Saturday. Similar to a giant science fair, the event featured a variety of science, engineering and technology projects and items. An array of technologies were on hand including 3D printers, drones and various physics devices. The owner of the Make Crate subscription service stated her company’s products place a strong emphasis on teaching young people about technology and coding. A traditional blacksmith was also on hand displaying metal working techniques.
Numerous Maker Clubs from an array of local schools were on hand, displaying a broad swathe of tech projects. A group of amateur hobbyists diplayed a model of the deck of the aircraft carrier, the USS Ronald Reagan with a solenoid device hooked up to launch paper airplanes.
