Tiana VisserThis article is about an invention fair that takes place each year in San Francisco. The fair is designed to allow students from different schools to meet with inventors and learn about their projects. At the "Maker Faire Education Day," the name given to the event, 500 students and teachers gathered on a single day to learn from inventors and participate in hands-on projects. In one project, students create electromechanical insects that respond to movement, wind, and vibrations by blinking their eyes. Teachers can duplicate the project, which uses simple materials, in the classroom to teach basic lessons in conductivity to elementary school and middle school students. This article speaks of other projects that the students participated in and ones that can be duplicated in the classroom.\n\n\nThe NETS-T standard that this article exemplifies is:\n1. Facilitate and Inspire Student Learning and Creativity\n\n\nTeachers use their knowledge of subject matter, teaching and learning, and technology to facilitate experiences that advance student learning, creativity, and innovation in both face-to-face and virtual environments. Teachers:\n\n\na. promote, support, and model creative and innovative thinking and inventiveness
