    It's the Maker Camp Air Show. How far can your craft fly? Can your kite or plane do any cool tricks? Who will take home the prizes?

We end the week with a field trip to the world-renowned Berkeley Kite Festival, celebrating 30 years of high-flying art and science on the gusty shores of San Francisco Bay. Today’s also your last chance to enter your project into our Maker Camp Air Show. Just post your videos showing off your favorite project this week to the Maker Camp Community Page.
