Mini Maker Faire: Make a Maker Faire

Our Mini Maker Faire program provides tools and resources to help others to make a Maker Faire event that reflects the creativity, spirit and ingenuity of their community. The first Maker Faire started in 2006 in San Mateo, California, organized by the editors of MAKE magazine. Our Bay Area event just completed its ninth year, and has grown into a weekend-long celebration featuring 900+ Makers and attracting over 120,000 visitors. Our other flagship event takes place in New York City, this year with 600+ Makers, and 75,000 attendees. Other larger-scale “featured” Maker Faires take place in Detroit, Kansas City, Tokyo, Oslo, Rome and Newcastle. However, the idea of Maker Faire can work at almost any scale. In its simplest form, Maker Faire creates opportunities for conversations with Makers. It is a special experience, but the fundamental design of the event is one that can be reproduced almost anywhere.

The Greatest Show and Tell on Earth. Maker culture. A rekindled interest in manufacturing and hardware, accompanied by the proliferation of inexpensive or less expensive distributed, democratizing manufacturing tools enabled the maker movement to lift off in the mid 2000s.

Maker culture

In 2005, Dale Dougherty launched Make: magazine to serve the growing community, followed by the 2006 launch of Maker Faire.[1] The term, coined by Dougherty, grew into a full-fledged industry based on the growing number of DIYers who want to build something rather than buy it. Alongside the movement has come a leveling of playing field, where formerly the creation of products and prototypes required vast resources available only to industry and big businesses.

A manufacturing process that is growing in accessibility is driving innovation at all levels. Who is a maker? [edit] The community consists of a wide variety of interests and skill levels, from industry experts to garage tinkerers. Makerspaces[edit] Over the same time frame, makerspaces have started to spring up.
