Call for Makers for Maker Faire Zagreb 2022 is open!
Jul 20, 2022
After the challenging 2021, but also the successful Maker Faire Zagreb 2021 on the European Square in a somewhat limited edition, we are returning to
Maker Faire is a gathering of fascinating, curious people who enjoy learning and who love sharing what they can do. From engineers to artists to scientists to crafters, Maker Faire is a venue for these "makers" to show hobbies, experiments, projects.
We call it the Greatest Show (& Tell) on Earth - a family-friendly showcase of invention, creativity, and resourcefulness.
Glimpse the future and get inspired!
Maker Faire is an occasion for all modest, self-deprecating sometimes not understandable people to show what they are busy making, and share what they are learning, and finally, it’s a celebration of the Maker movement and spirit.
Yeah, Makers… ?!?
Makers range from tech enthusiasts to crafters to homesteaders to scientists to garage tinkerers. They are the guys and the girls who, after a long day of being “just normal people” will spend most evenings and weekends in the basement, making something new, playing bravely with new technologies or with antique craftsmanship techniques.
Makers are –before any label or definition– just curious people, of all ages and backgrounds, who goes beyond talking and start doing, making… exactly the ones that are primarily and over all into MAKING.
A few examples of maker’s projects we are looking for…
Robots that are useful, funny, that compete, make pizza…
3D printers and scanners with a little extra something,
electronic and science-fiction inspired clothes,
mechanical gizmos that work with crancks and pedals,
super tiny, super big or super strange drones,
surprising interactive shows,
wild creative wood working and a handicraft,
houses that do strange stuff,
open source software for every need,
microprocessors of all kinds,
jaw-dropping experiments,
amazing recycled objects,
every day and future science,
strange and incredible home made music instruments,
Green projects,
And anything with the WOW factor!
If you don’t have an innovative project, you can apply to our Maker Faire to show and teach and share your techniques, your knowledge, and your experience: we are all makers!
Innovative ideas and projects of educational or scientific value or targeted towards remote areas and developing countries will be especially valued.

For Maker Faire visitors we will present some of the work done in Fablab Zagreb and some activities related to STEMerica project.
As FabLab we are part of an International Research Center (ICTP, Unesco Category 1). Our focus is on science, education, sustainability & creativity, we believe that the most precious resource is our community of makers, and we organise MF Trieste.
The BIOPLAnet project goal is to promote STEAM by raising awareness about the circular economy, and more specifically problems with plastic. We will also show products done from plastic caps (HDPE plastic) using different techniques.
