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!
Featured Makers
Brad's Mad Lab
Brad's Mad Lab is the name of the business by Brad Miller, a burgeoning artist in the 3D printing, laser engraving, and cutting crafts. Brad's creations range from the strange and unusual to the cute and clever.
Vector Space Circular Sock Knitter
This circular sock knitting machine was 3D printed to mimic an over 150 year old machine design. By cranking the handle, yarn is pushed around the outside, grabbed by the needles, and automatically knitted in the round - exiting through the bottom.
Vegetable Painting and Sensory Tubs!
Makers will learn how to use fresh garden vegetables as art utensils to create everything from beautiful flowers to rainbow fish! They will also learn how to make fun sensory tubs with rice, carrots, and other garden supplies.
