What I learned from the last Bay Area Maker Faire

Yesterday I attended my first (and possibly last) Bay Area Maker Faire. It was incredible to see the range of work from robotics and circuitry to cardboard art, drones, detailed cosplay and movie props, to hand made synthetic-free clothes.

The visit taught me that there’s pride and joy in presenting unfinished or un-polished work to the world. Un-ashamedly showing others where you are in your learning and building process. And gathering feedback and inspiration that will propel you on. Seeing this helps me chip away at my perfectionism, and encourages me to keep prototyping and demoing ideas and projects even at their early stages.
