A bit about the event: Maker Faire(r) Milwaukee is a free, family-friendly event that enables 200+ makers- professionals, hobbyists, artists and students - to share their work with a broad audience. It 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!

In addition to being the largest event of its kind in the nation, it is one of the largest free Faire in the world. The weekend offers hands-on workshops, talks from DIY experts, how-to demonstrations, unique entertainment like Tesla Coils, Rock’em Sock’em Robots and our World Record attempt for the most Dr. Who Daleks in one area, as well as opportunities to learn specific making skills.
