Yesterday (October 20, 2012) was Mini Maker Faire day in Norfolk, Virginia. This was the first Maker Faire happened in the Hampton Roads area. It was really good to see people from local hackerspaces and maker communities and their interesting projects. Here are some pictures that I took at the event.
