The Maker Faire is the Greatest Show (and Tell) on Earth—a family-friendly showcase of invention, creativity and resourcefulness, and a celebration of the Maker movement. It’s a place where people show what they are making, and share what they are learning.

Even if you don’t have something to present, they could always use volunteers!

Here are this week’s hints for the Loussac Science Fiction Double Feature Picture Show, which starts at noon on Saturday, July 5:

At noon: A 12-year-old boy goes missing in 1978, only to reappear once more in 1986. In the eight years that have passed, he hasn’t aged. Fun fact — it sort of stars Pee-Wee Herman!

At 2:30: You may want to “phone home” about this 1982 classic film, which stars a little botanist alien who loves Reece’s Pieces!
