Maker Faire Calgary

For the past two years, Calgary has been home to the Mini Maker Faire Calgary; a collaboration of art, DIY technology, design, robotics, costumes and cool inventions.
If you like anything DIY, I mean anything at all, you will fit in at the Mini Maker Faire. Learn everything from how to build your own telescope, create electricity with your bike, turn your living room furniture into robots or make your own fake stage blood; there is literally something for everyone at this Fair.
Held in September, the mini Maker Faire is part of the larger world Maker Faire movement or, as they like to call it, «the Greatest Show (and Tell) on Earth — a family-​friendly showcase of 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.»
Calgary’s mini Maker Faire is a great place to geek out on cool stuff people used to beat you up about in high school. In fact, bring the high school bullies with you, they will love playing with the remote control lazy boy chairs.
