Maker Faire Rochester Is Back!
Aug 19, 2021
The Call for Makers is officially open for this year's Maker Faire Rochester. As of the moment, this year's faire will be taking place on Saturday,
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
Norwalk Havoc Robot League - 3lb Combat Robots
Come see live combat robot fighting! NHRL is bringing one of its cages and some bots to Rochester so you can watch the excitement up close!
Lockpick Village
Want to tinker with locks & tools the likes of which you've only seen in movies featuring police, spies, and secret agents? TOOOL's Lockpick Village gives you hands-on insight into how these basic elements of security work & how they are compromised.
Sparky the Unicorn
Sparky the Unicorn is a giant, 12 foot high rideable sculpture of a unicorn, that is also a puppet you can work yourself! This beautiful work is covered in tulle fabric and over 6,000 LED lights. An unforgettable experience!
Projection Mapping and Lighting Effects for Lego Models
I will show how I bring life into Lego creations. One uses small RGB LEDs controlled by an Arduino to perform color lighting effects on a miniature Spaceship Earth. The other projects video of a fireworks show onto my Mini Disney Castle.
