This is the second part of a series about electronics and manufacturing in Shenzhen China. In this weeks episode, SOE continues on a journey of exploration with a group of Electronic Engineers, Makers, Entrepreneurs and Startups on an innovation tour to Shenzhen China. The group lands in China and quickly becomes accustomed to the heat, humidity, sights and smells of Guangzhou and then later Shenzhen. The first days adventure ends with a fantastic meal before checking into the hotel. Day two kicks off with Maker Faire Shenzhen. The group wonders around the Shenzhen polytechnic, where Maker Faire is held in 2017, and delights in the creativity, cleverness in design and social aspects of the maker movement. With many local Chinese makers showing off their ideas and builds, our group gets an appreciation for the enthusiasm of the local community. SOE also chats with some of the international makers such as Shannon Hoover from Makefashion http://www.makefashion.ca, Zack Shelby from micro:bit http://microbit.org, Sherry Huss from Maker Media as well as locals like Eric Pan from SEEED Studios https://www.seeedstudio.com and Kevin Lau from Makernet. Maker Faire Shenzhen is put on by Maker Media Inc. and is part of Make Magazine https://makermedia.com In China, Maker Media has partnered with SEEED Studios, who invited Maker Faire to come to Shenzhen. Maker Faire Shenzhen is now the second largest Maker Faire event in the world behind San Francisco’s Bay Area faire. Our group consists of tour leader Vela Georgiev, participants Andy Gelme, Brian Gilbert, Jon Oxer, Kemal Ajay, Liam Brennan, Noor Magesh, Sarah Last, Tom Partridge, Simon Holmes a Court, Hans Chang and yours truly.
