DIY geniuses, listen up: the 5th annual Maker Faire Bay Area, taking place May 22-23 in San Mateo, CA, is looking for a few good artists. Who like fire. And metal. And robots. And geeks. And rockets. And loads of fun.

Found over at Laughing Squid, Make Magazine breaks it down:

Organized by the staff of Make magazine, Make: Online and CRAFT, Maker Faire is a newfangled fair that brings together science, art, craft and engineering plus music in a fun, energized, and exciting public forum. The aim is to inspire people of all ages to roll up their sleeves and become makers. This family-friendly event showcases the amazing work of all kinds of makers - anyone who is embracing DIY and wants to share their accomplishments with an appreciative audience.

We encourage you to join the fun and enter a project to exhibit.

This is like the science fair, but only 1,000 better.
