Calling all Makers!

“Creativity is inventing, experimenting, growing, taking risks, breaking rules, making mistakes and having fun.” - Mary Lou Cook

Agree? Then the Calgary Maker Faire is for you. This event’s purpose is to celebrate arts, crafts, engineering, science projects and the Do-It-Yourself mindset.

Are you a Maker? The seeds of creativity live in everyone. But Makers see it through – they invent, design, create and build things with the goal of learning, teaching, inspiring and improving the world. Makers look at the world around them and imagine ways to make it better or more interesting. From robotics, electronics, rockets, food to fashion finds, if you make it, it’s fair game at the Calgary Maker Faire!
