Mini Maker Faire 2014
A grown-up show-and-tell we can all get excited about.
Overview
Remember show and tell in primary school? The Maker Faire is a bit like a grown-up version of that, except it’s less about Disneyland vacation photos and more about science experiments and arts and crafts.
Founded by the US-based Make magazine, the Maker movement is all about celebrating the DIY ethic, resourcefulness, innovation and imagination, and it’s coming to Australia in the form of the Mini Maker Faire. The first Australian event was held at the Powerhouse Museum in 2013, and it will return this year.
The first Maker Faire was held eight years ago in San Mateo, California. Since then, the Maker movement has spread all over the world, with events in Detroit, New York, Newcastle (UK), Rome and Tokyo, and over 200,000 attendees worldwide. Whether you’re a scientist, artist or foodie, there’ll be something for you.
