The Maker Faire – Bringing the maker movement to your science centre/museum

Maker Faire is the world’s greatest festival for creativity and making. This is where technology, art and science meet. It is a festival where inventors, artists, hackers, enthusiasts, geeks, craftsmen and tinkerers – can show others what they have made. The festival also has talks, courses, workshops, shows and activities where you can participate.

The Maker Faire was first arranged 8 years ago in Silicon Valley. This year, the festival is held over 100 different places in the world, some of them with more than 100.000 visitors.

The presenters in this session have arranged Maker Faires at their museums and science centers. They will share their first hand experience with you and let you know how your institution can become an arena for the “maker movement!”
