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.

We were all of us walking around on a high the whole day. Big smiles on our faces and a recognition that all the stress and hard work getting the show together in just five months was worth it.”

Mini Maker Faire Kansas City Celebrates Its Third Year with Big Crowds and Bigger Ideas
Summers in Kansas City can be brutal; temperatures can top triple digits, compounded with a high humidity that makes the outdoors feel like a sauna. However, this past weekend, while half the country was suffering through blast furnace like weather, it was more like glorious spring in the City of Fountains. Great weather meant a big turnout for the city’s third Mini Maker Faire.
