Celebrating Maker Faire Bay Area 2026: Special 20% Pro Discount for Makers!

It’s that time of the year again! Maker Faire Bay Area 2026 is here, gathering inventors, tinkerers, students, and artists from across the globe to celebrate human ingenuity and the pure joy of making things.

For us at Codebender, Maker Faire holds a very special place in our hearts.

Back in May 2014, Codebender made its very first journey to Maker Faire Bay Area and MakerCon. As we shared in our classic post from that memorable week - [Event] Our MakerFaire Tale - our founders survived on four hours of sleep a night, set up our very first booth, connected with thousands of passionate makers, and left with an unforgettable dose of "post-MakerFaire syndrome."

Twelve years later, we are celebrating a completely revitalized, rebuilt Codebender alongside all of you at Maker Faire!
