I’m involved in organizing a few large events coming up. Here is one of them.

A series of demonstrations, lectures, and social events, culminating in the main event showcasing example contraptions from over 40 companies and crafty individuals Saturday 9/19/09 in Providence, RI. Maker Faire: Rhode Island is free and open to the public, featuring hands-on workshops, building & hacking competitions, culinary crafting, garage technology, arts and creativity for sale, and robot gymnastic demonstrations.

Check the site for a list of makers and the schedule.
