Public Announcement - Windsor/Leamington - Crafters & Performers wanted for Mini Maker Faire
The Maker Faire is coming to Windsor! The first annual Windsor-Essex Mini Maker Faire is on February 24 at St. Clair College.
The Call for Makers, Performers and Crafters is open now through January 31. Entries can be submitted by individuals or by groups, such as hobbyist clubs and schools. The Windsor-Essex Mini Maker Faire particularly encourages exhibits that are interactive and that highlight the process of making things. Any groups or individuals interested in participating in this inaugural event must complete an application at https://windsoressex.makerfaire.com/call-for-makers/ by the end of January.
The Windsor-Essex Mini Maker Faire takes after other large Maker Faire events such as Maker Faire Detroit. The Windsor-Essex Mini Maker Faire will be a smaller, community-focused event, but will follow the Maker Faire model of celebrating do-it-yourself creativity and tinkering.
Featuring both established and emerging local “makers,” the inaugural Windsor-Essex Mini Maker Faire is a family-friendly celebration featuring student projects, robotics, DIY science and technology, urban farming and sustainability, alternative energy, unique hand-made crafts, and interactive art projects.
Everyone in the community is welcome. Attendance is free. Pre-registration is required. Visit windsoressex.makerfaire.com for more information. Maker Faire Windsor-Essex is independently produced by The University of Windsor EPICentre, in partnership with the St. Clair College Genesis Centre, and in collaboration with Maker Media.
