Our Call for Makers is still open for the 4th Annual Rochester Mini Maker Faire! We’re hoping to beat our record of 130 makers that we set last year.

Some of the projects that we had last year included:

Screen printing your own Rochester Mini Maker Faire poster to take home
Tearing apart old electronics and see how they worked

Animating your first stop-motion film
Piloting a drone
Being inspired by kid Makers, including the Rosie’s Robots, a 9 year old roboticist
Playing video and board games developed right here in Rochester
Marveling at a theme park built with K’nex
Creating useful items out of old cassette tapes
Hearing live music from the Rochester Recorder Society

Fire projects are allowed again this year and are highly encouraged! We will also be bringing back the Dark Room, along with a few new special areas.

We’re accepting applications through October 23rd and then through before the faire on a maker by maker basis.
