Are you ready for Maker Faire Bay Area? We sure are! The family-friendly festival of invention, creativity, and hands-on DIY culture – some call it the “the greatest show-and-tell on Earth” – is holding its special 20th anniversary edition this year, and we wouldn’t dare miss the celebrations.
Join us on September 25th–27th in Vallejo, California with thousands of makers, educators, and tech enthusiasts from all over the world: at Maker Faire, everyone brings their own ideas and leaves with loads of inspiration.
Find us at the Make: magazine booth
Stop by the Arduino Space inside the Make: magazine booth to hang out with the team, check out our latest hardware, and see what’s next for open-source electronics:
- Get hands-on with Arduino® Plug and Make™ Kit, our tried-and-true beginner kit designed to make prototyping easier than ever.
- Have fun with Arduino® UNO™ Q board: we’re bringing the most playful live demos to Maker Faire Bay Area – including a custom handheld retro gaming console built around our versatile dual-brain board.
- Take a first look at Arduino® VENTUNO™ Q board, our newest launch, designed to push physical AI to the next level.
Plus, we’ll be offering a special discount code for Faire visitors!
Don’t miss Massimo Banzi on the Foundry Stage
Mark your calendars for Sunday, September 27th at 1PM PDT! Arduino co-founder Massimo Banzi will be taking the Foundry Stage for a special talk showcasing “One year of projects with the UNO Q.” We knew it was something special when it launched in October 2025, but the range of ideas you all have tested and brought to life in the past 12 months has been nothing short of incredible. Massimo’s talk will feature some of the most amusing, surprising, and advanced community-built ideas we’ve seen – and we know it will only inspire you to go further!
Get your tickets and find all the event’s info on the official website. We look forward to seeing you at Maker Faire Bay Area 2026.
