Two days of hands-on hardware, creative code, and open knowledge. Join makers, artists, and engineers for talks, workshops, and demos.
MakerFest brings together curious minds to learn, build, and show what’s possible. Expect a vibrant mix of talks, demos, and workshops across electronics, fabrication, creative coding, biohacking, and more.
Meet makers, engineers, artists, and educators sharing the tools and stories behind their work.
