<p><a href="http://makerfaireafrica.com/">Maker Faire Africa (MFA)</a>, a celebration of African ingenuity, innovation and invention, will take place August 13-15 at the Ghana-India Kofi Annan Centre of Excellence in ICT in Ghana&#8217;s capital, Accra. </p>
<p>As one of the contributing editors of <a href="http://afrigadget.com">AfriGadget</a>, I am incredibly happy to see this event come together. When I started pitching in afew articles on Afrigadget, it was partly because I really liked Emeka Okafor&#8217;s idea of  <a href="http://www.afrigadget.com/2006/05/31/a-make-philosphy-for-africa/">&#8216;A Make Philosophy for Africa&#8217; </a></p>
<blockquote><p>A MAKE for Africa will be a non-limited set of values and practical ideas that evolve, germinate, propagate and replicate with informed nudges…</p></blockquote>
<p>The upcoming event is Ghana is one giant nudge, that I hope you can support either by spreading the word &#8211; grab a <a href="http://makerfaireafrica.com/badges/">badge here</a>, or by donating a small sum towards making Make Faire Africa happen. </p>
