Maker Faire Miami is a festival of innovation, creativity and resourcefulness for all ages that celebrates the global Maker Movement. The original Miami “Mini” Maker Faire was held in 2013 and has grown into the premier gathering space for makers and DIY innovators in South Florida. Now Miami has joined an elite band of 35 cities around the world to host larger-scale Maker Faires, including San Mateo, Rome, Paris, Tokyo, Atlanta, New York and Shenzhen.
The most recent Maker Faire featured makers from Spain and Latin America as part of its 140 exhibitors. Popular exhibits included virtual reality, drone racing, Lego cities, self-driving vehicles and a robotics competition. The two-day event also included a master class with famous DJ Kid Koala and a series of maker talks on building locally-productive cities, making sustainable chocolate and driverless cars, among others.
Maker Faire Miami is independently organized and operated under license from Maker Media, Inc.
