Midcoast Maine Makers
This weekend, the fine makers of Camden, Maine, are putting on the first Midcoast Mini Maker Faire, taking place on Saturday, September 7, at the Camden Public Library and Amphitheatre.
Maker Faire
Maker Faire is the Greatest Show (and Tell) on Earth — a family-friendly festival of invention, creativity, and resourcefulness, and a celebration of the maker movement.
Part science fair, part county fair, and part something entirely new, Maker Faire is an all-ages gathering of tech enthusiasts, crafters, educators, tinkerers, hobbyists, engineers, science clubs, authors, artists, students, and commercial exhibitors. All of these people come to Maker Faire to show what they have made and to share what they have learned.

Designing Makerspaces at Maker Faire New York
It’s time for another World Maker Faire! Soon, tens of thousands of people will come to New York to see hundreds of art pieces, robots, vehicles, and everything in between. Many of the pieces on display were created by dedicated makers working out of their garages, but a growing number of them are being designed and built in makerspaces around the country – spaces that provide access to equipment, training on that equipment, dedicated areas to work on your project, and a community of like-minded makers.
