Since 2005, MAKE has also been sponsoring huge "Maker Faires" where thousands gather to share their work and celebrate creativity and ingenuity. And now Bradford, a local engineer and a blogger for MAKE, is planning a mini-Maker Faire in Pawtucket's Slater Mill.

Timed to coincide with the Pawtucket Arts Festival, the event kicks off September 6 at the Rocktucket Block Party on Main Street. On September 12, "makers" are encouraged to attend the Iron Chef fundraiser at The Steel Yard, featuring a head-to-head sculpture competition.
