Chicago Northside Mini Maker Faire producer Christina Pei teaches lockpicking with TOOOL
The Chicago Northside Mini Maker Faire team visited the incredible Henry Ford Museum this weekend, site of the 5th annual Maker Faire Detroit. We played with, among other things, old school tractor engines, Power Wheels, hacked bikes, soldering, lockpicking, 3D printing, oh my! Over 400 makers turned out for this featured Faire. Here’s a little taste of what we saw:
