What is Maker Faire?

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!

We are looking for Makers!

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? Who are they???

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.
