What is Maker Faire?
Maker Faire 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!
The 2024 Maker Faire Wayne County will be a unique experience as it is combined with the annual convention of the AC Gilbert Heritage Society resulting in a Maker Extravaganza. The Society maintains the spirit of the former AC Gilbert Company, manufacturer of Erector sets and many other educational items.
Erector sets were the LEGO® bricks of recent generations. The Maker Extravaganza will have many tables featuring AC Gilbert products and there will be hundreds of enthusiasts present comingling with Maker Fair attendees. This combined event may be a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. You won’t want to miss it!
