Part science fair, part county fair, part craft show, and part something entirely new, Maker Faire is an all-ages gathering of tech enthusiasts, crafters, educators, tinkerers, hobbyists, engineers, science clubs, authors, artists, students, and commercial exhibitors.
Individuals, groups, schools, and organizations are encouraged to apply by completing an application online by clicking this link through April 6th, 2024.
The Faire is about creativity and innovation everywhere. The purpose is to expose attendees to skills and products they have never seen or tried before. The Faire will showcase cutting-edge technology such as 3D printing and robotics, but also have more traditional trades such as woodworking, fine arts, and sewing crafts. The world-renowned Maker Faires are home to the unique, unusual, and extraordinary!
About Maker Faire
Maker Faire is the Greatest Show (and Tell) on Earth – a family-friendly showcase of invention, creativity, 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. Makers range from tech enthusiasts to crafters to homesteaders to scientists to garage tinkerers. They are of all ages and backgrounds. Maker Faire aims to entertain, inform, connect, and grow this community. The original Maker Faire event was held in San Mateo, CA and in 2014 celebrated its ninth annual show with some 1,100 makers and 130,000 people in attendance. World Maker Faire New York, the other flagship event, has grown in four years to 600+ makers and 80,000 attendees. Detroit, Kansas City, Atlanta, Milwaukee, Orlando, Silver Spring, Paris, Rome, Oslo, Trondheim, Tokyo, Newcastle (UK), and Shenzhen are the home of larger-scale, “featured” Maker Faires and over 120 community-driven, independently organized Mini Maker Faires are now being produced around the United States and the world.
