Calling all makers! Maker Faire Orlando featuring local do-it-yourself science, art, rockets, robots, crafts, technology, music and hands-on activities, returns to the Central Florida Fairgrounds and Expo Halls here in Orlando from the 5th to the 6th of November, 2022.
Celebrating it’s 10th anniversary, Orlando’s two-day family-friendly Maker Faire is a gathering of fascinating, curious people who enjoy learning and who love sharing what they can do.
From engineers to artists to scientists to crafters, Maker Faire is a venue for these ‘makers’ to show their hobbies, experiments or projects.”
The event will showcase invention, creativity, and resourcefulness, including Power Racing, Combat Robots, Nerdy Derby, and cosplay makers, as well as hands-on activities, workshops, and competitions
Hands-on Workshops
Learn from people who make, play, tinker, and hack, including robotics, cosplay, STEM & STEAM, crafts, science, electronics, tools, and a few things you’ve never seen before.
