That\u2019s a wrap! Were you at the Greatest Show and Tell on Earth? Yes, we\u2019re talking about the biggest and best Maker Faire of them all: Maker Faire Bay Area in sunny California.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Some of the main highlights have to include the giant megabots\nand animatronics for sure, but for us, meeting passionate makers, old friends\nand Seeed fans has to be number one on our list. If you missed it, don\u2019t worry,\nwe\u2019ve covered our best bits in this wrap-up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Unfortunately, the Jetson Nano Spider couldn\u2019t make to the faire because of some last-minute sore joints (you can see him on YouTube<\/a>), but there was more than enough going on and many interesting conversations to be had. As always, it\u2019s a challenge to cram all of Seeed\u2019s activities into such a small space but our lovely Seeeders were there to make sure they were prepared to answer the big question: So what\u2019s Seeed about?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Well, what do you want Seeed to be about?  With so many faucets and directions, covering\nall sorts of audiences, areas of expertise and industries, this is probably the\nbest question to start with. To assist with the summary, the Seeed booth was\nsplit into its major branches:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Manufacturing<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

We start with Seeed\u2019s manufacturing services including the Seeed Fusion Online Manufacturing services and the Seeed Agile Manufacturing (OEM) service. We had to showcase our star manufacturing service and what better way to grab attention than with a giant Seeeduino shaped board! It certainly piqued a lot of passer-bys\u2019 interests and lead to many conversations comparing hand soldering records and home cooking PCB methods.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Just by paying for the printed circuit boards and the components, you can get 5 fully assembled devices shipped to your doorstep with the Seeed Fusion PCB Assembly service<\/a>. That includes parts procurement, PCB manufacture and assembly.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

We also met a bunch of happy Seeed Fusion customers! It was a thrill to meet you all in person and see some of the boards in action.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
