Vancouver Mini Maker Faire

June 6 & 7, 2015

10:00 - 6:00 pm

PNE Forum 2901 E. Hastings

Showcases invention, creativity and resourcefulness, and a celebration of the Maker movement.  It’s a place where people show what they are making, and share what they are learning.

Makers range from tech enthusiasts to crafters to homesteaders to scientists to garage tinkerers. They are of all ages and backgrounds.  Lots of fun on-site activities like cardboard box making, to feats of engineering, robotics and crafting. It’s all about experimenting, playing and sharing in order to have fun, learn, and discover new possibilities.

We will be sharing work stations so if they would like to bring their own laptop and download Maya on that before the workshop it would be helpful. But if they don’t mind sharing they should definitely come
