The Call For Makers is now open for the 3rd annual Wayne County Mini Maker Faire! Participation is free; You can apply with our online application here. You can also apply via postal mail and telephone. Number 3 is going to be bigger than ever for us as makers return to the Wayne College to fill the Student Life Building and landscape with incredible innovation and creativity. Remember, space is limited so you have to apply as soon as possible to ensure that you get your spot at the greatest show (& tell) on earth!
There are several main types of applicants for Maker Faire. You can apply for a Maker Exhibit, Presentation, or Demonstration. Each has their own criteria for acceptance which you can read about more while filling out the forms. Be sure to have a nice picture (that you have the rights to share) as well as a bio ready to give us. This information will be on display on our site and at the event.
Remember, this is Maker Faire, so “hands-on” exhibits are given priority. We want kids and adults alike to be able to touch and feel things, make things, and learn! Here are just a few of the topics we’d like to see applying:
| Student projects
Robotics Homegrown Drones Arduino projects Raspberry Pi Virtual Reality Space projects Food makers (not concessionaires) Conductive materials projects Kit makers Interactive art projects 3D Printers and CNC Mills Textile Arts and Crafts E-Textiles Home Energy Monitoring |

The Wayne County Mini Maker Faire is always a blast. The events in Wayne County are impressive on their own, but mix in Maker Faire and you have a sight that needs to be seen. Mixing rocket ships and makers can never go wrong. Want to get a taste for what Maker Faire was like last year? Check out these photos from last year’s event where we were uploading fresh images all weekend long.
