The 7th annual Chicago South Side Mini Maker Faire is taking place on August 3. Part science fair, part art fair, and part something entirely new, Mini Maker Faire is a fun and energetic community-based event that brings together science, art, crafts and engineering. This free celebration will showcase Chicago area makers with a focus on the diversity of people and thought that makes Chicago an innovative city.

There are several ways to participate:

• PS1 is planning to host a booth. Please help us showcase PS1, the premier maker space in the Midwest.
• The faire has asked PS1 to help set up a Nerdy Derby. PS1 has a great racing tradition, and we would love someone to take this on as a project.

Of course, another way to show support is just to show up and enjoy the faire. It takes place on August 3 at Daley College, 7500 S Pulaski Rd.
