“Arrow Electronics is proud to support the innovators at Maker
Faire. Increasingly, the hardware shaping the direction and future
of technology is now emerging from maker workshops, hacker spaces
and garage work benches,” said Matt Anderson, Arrow’s chief digital
officer.
“Arrow is leading the effort to digitize valuable content for
the maker community—everything from searchable data sheets and
reference designs to real-time help from actual Arrow engineers,”
continued Anderson. “The new Arrow.com is about more than selling
parts—it’s about equipping makers, engineers and other innovators
with the tools they need and finding creative ways to collaborate
with them on solutions.”
Makers are encouraged to stop by the Arrow Electronics booth,
located by the main entrance inside the Expo Hall. Attendees are
invited to participate in a hands-on Bristlebots workshop, try
their hand at a custom-printed Lite-Brite installation, explore
demos of 3D printers and learn more about how the new Arrow.com is
designed to serve the maker and engineer communities.
Maker Faire is a family-friendly showcase of invention,
creativity and resourcefulness in the areas of science and
technology, engineering, food, arts and crafts. It's a place where
people of all ages and backgrounds gather together to show what
they are making and share what they are learning. Last year’s Maker
Faire Bay Area welcomed some 1,200 makers and 145,000 attendees.
