Maker Faire: Kansas City celebrates things people create themselves — from new technology and electronic gizmos to urban farming and “slow-made” foods to homemade clothes, quilts and sculptures. This family-friendly event demonstrates what and how people are inventing, making and creating. It brings together Makers, Crafters, Inventors, Hackers, Scientists and Artists for a faire full of fun and inspiration. Come see what others are making and be inspired to tap into your own creativity!

Check out the blog section on this site to see the Maker Faire: Kansas City program guide, which includes lists of key speakers, attractions, activities for kids and families and the schedule of musicians playing through the weekend!

“Maker Faire establishes relationships that did not previously exist…between ideas, between things, between people.”

“…the most important thing Maker Faire does is establish those relationships among makers.”

-Dale Dougherty, editor and publisher of Make Magazine
