The cartoonist Roy Doty has also contributed to many issues of the magazine.

Maker Faire

The magazine launched a public annual event to "celebrate arts, crafts, engineering, science projects and the Do-It-Yourself (DIY) mindset." Called Maker Faire, the first was held April 22-23, 2006, at the San Mateo Fairgrounds. It included six exposition and workshop pavilions, a 5-acre (20,000 m2) outdoor midway, over 100 exhibiting Makers, hands-on workshops, demonstrations and DIY competitions.

In 2007 Maker Faire was held in the San Francisco Bay Area on May 3-4 and Austin, Texas on October 20-21. The 2008 Maker Faires occurred May 3-4, at the San Mateo Fairgrounds in San Mateo, California, and October 18-19 at the Travis County Expo Center in Austin, Texas. The 2009 Maker Faire Bay Area was held on May 30-31. In 2010, there were three Maker Faires: Bay Area on May 22-23, Detroit on July 31 and August 1, and New York on September 25-26.

In 2013, there were 100 Maker Faires across the globe, including in China, Japan, Israel, Australia, Spain, the U.K., Italy, Ireland, Scotland, Chile, France, Norway, Canada, Germany and the Netherlands, as well as numerous cities in the United States. A total of 93 of these Faires were "Mini" Maker Faires -- smaller scale, independently produced, local events.

In 2014, the number of Maker Faires continued to grow, including one hosted by the White House.
