Maker Faire Orlando is a non-profit, community-organized celebration featuring local do-it-yourself science, art, rockets, robots, crafts, technology, music, and hands-on activities.
The family-friendly showcase of invention, creativity, and resourcefulness returns Nov. 9 - 10, 2024, where people show what they are making and share what they are learning at the 12th annual event at the Central Florida Fairgrounds.
Individuals behind the exhibits are known as ‘makers’ and range from tech enthusiasts to crafters and scientists to garage tinkerers of all ages and backgrounds. The two-day event is expected to draw 12,000 attendees and includes 200+ exhibits, Power Racing, Combat Robots, Nerdy Derby, cosplay makers, and much more on display throughout air-conditioned exhibit halls, as well as green spaces filled with hands-on activities, workshops, and competitions.
“Maker Faire Orlando 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 for others to glimpse the future and get inspired,” said founder Ian Cole.
Exhibits & Hands-on Workshops
From engineers to artists to scientists to crafters, makers showcase hobbies, experiments, and projects. Immerse yourself in Maker culture with exhibits, a performance stage, big art, and spectacle. Experience hands-on learning by people who make, play, tinker, and hack, including robotics, cosplay, STEM & STEAM, crafts, science, electronics, tools, and crazy things you’ve never seen!
