Now is the Greater Hartford Mini Maker Faire Call for Makers! Calling all makers, tinkerers, entrepreneurs, inventors, techies, scientists, engineers, artists, designers, performers, dreamers, and schemers! This third annual event is Saturday October 6, 10:00 a.m. – 4:00 p.m. at Connecticut’s Old State House, 800 Main St, Hartford, CT. Speakers, demonstrations, and exhibits will be expanding so MORE NEW creations to exhibit are needed at this year’s faire!
Kidtivity.com wants you to be part of this event. The roster is already building, but you can make it an even bigger success! Makers of all kind are invited to be part of this exciting, family-friendly event but we’re particularly looking for interactive workshops where kids of all ages can roll up their sleeves, and get excited about making something new. Show your stuff and share your passion for making.
What projects are you looking for? What is required of a Maker?
A do-it-yourself project that is unique, inspiring, engaging, and interactive with observers. It tells a story. It might be a piece of art, a tool, or a project that does something different. It should be something that hasn’t been seen before, or at least by few people, and it should not be for commercial purposes.The Maker needs to be there to demo and explain. It’s okay to take commercial things and do a “mash-up” that repurposes in unique and “ah hah” ways, like an underwater bicycle.
Who can apply for a booth?
Local, regional, and national groups, clubs, individuals, schools, libraries, universities, and hobbyists who can demonstrate or actually show the making of their invention/craft/project in a contained setting or workshop.
What does it cost?
Applicants who are chosen by a review panel to participate receive a 10’x10’ area at no charge (FREE). A table and two chairs are provided. Applicants who wish to sell their inventions/crafts/artwork may be asked to pay a fee for their booth space (see application for sales level/details). The event is free to attendees.
