MakerFest is an event where makers can show off what they have made and how they made it. It provides an opportunity for people to gather, connect, and explore the processes, products, and joys of making.
No Making Required! You don't have to be a maker to participate. Folks of all ages are invited to explore, discover, learn, and play at MakerFest. Features of the Fest include; displays, demonstrations, and hands-on activities.
The Pierce College Science Dome, the South Sound's only digital planetarium, will be open during MakerFest with FREE shows! The Science Dome is a relatively new cultural landmark unique to Pierce County, and is a highlight of the MakerFest experience.
MakerFest is inspired by MAKE magazine's annual Maker Faires, but is not affiliated with or endorsed by the MAKE brand or company.
Our Manifesto:
MakerFest is a festival-style celebration of makers. A Maker is a person that engages in the process of making or producing something. Makers run the gamut from woodworkers, tinkerers, coders, crafters, to robot builders. The Maker movement includes amateurs, enthusiasts, hobbyists, innovators, and entrepreneurs.
MakerFest is a free, non-commercial, non-competitive, community-building event. It provides an opportunity for people to gather, connect, and explore the processes, products, and joys of making. The goal of MakerFest is to engage and excite youth, families, and adults to explore Maker/DIY (Do-It-Yourself) culture and become Makers themselves.
MakerFest is an inclusive event; gathering folks of all ages, ethnicities, cultures, genders, and sexual orientations.
