Maker Faire Orlando, September 13-14, 2014

JonRocket.com introduced many visitors to rocketry the Orlando Maker Faire held at the Orlando Science Center on September 13 & 14.
The Science Center event was a great way to generate interest in the Central Florida rocket clubs.

Roger Smith put together a continuous launch video that ran on a large screen monitor. Bracha gave out cards with information and website addresses for the local clubs and launch dates.


Many guests stopped by the table to talk about their rocket past activities. Here's some of the models on display.

This Maker Faire was more of a craft display than a Make-It, Take-it show. I was surprised how many 3D printers were at the show - all making the same little robots!
The Science Center did have all it's regular hands on activities for the kids.

I told Roger I was concerned about kids picking up the rockets.
Years ago at a trade show a young boy picked up a detailed rocket, yelled: "Blast Off!" and threw it across the room.

Roger made an intimidating sign. Nobody picked up the rockets.
