FAQ
We are looking for Young Makers—aged 7-17 years and passionate about hands-on learning. We love having Young Makers demo their projects—but we love it even more when they help teach other kids Maker skills! We encourage hands-on activities and workshops that educate and engage the public on the process of “making” with a demonstration, a presentation, or a hands-on workshop. While some art or science fairs tend to keep projects behind glass, our Maker Faire is a hands-on, minds-on event. Our exhibitors engage the public by showing what it means to really make something—teaching techniques, showcasing tools, and demonstrating both the perfect and not-so-perfect products of their labor.
What are we looking for? Here is a list of ideas and projects, but this is just a starting point. Young Makers – amaze, amuse and surprise us!
Individual and Group School and Summer Camp Projects
Robotics (Lego, Vex, your own, etc.)
Music Performance and Participation
Textile Arts and Crafts
