The Miami Mini Maker Faire is expected to draw over 1,000 people to see a wide variety of maker exhibits, workshops, and engage in other cool presentations.
The logistics required for this event are challenging, therefore we are seeking passionate volunteers who embrace the spirit of Maker Faire and the creativity and resourcefulness that it represents.
We need your help identifying local hobbyists, artists and commercial makers to exhibit at Miami Mini Maker Faire, as well as spreading the word about this awesome event.

Miami, FL – The first annual Miami Mini Maker Faire will take place on Saturday, November 16, 2013, from 10:00 am to 6:00 pm, at the LAB Miami in Wynwood.
Maker Faire is an all-ages gathering of tech enthusiasts, crafters, makers, engineers, tinkerers and artists who get together to show their creations and share what they have learned. It’s a festival of do-it-yourself creativity, innovation and resourcefulness in celebration of the Maker Movement.
Anyone who embraces the DIY spirit and wants to share their accomplishments with an appreciative audience should complete our Call to Makers application at makerfairemiami.com by September 30th.
The original Maker Faire event was held in San Mateo, CA and in 2013 celebrated its eighth annual show with some 900 makers and 120,000 people in attendance. World Maker Faire New York, the other flagship event, has grown in three years to 500+ makers and 55,000 attendees. Detroit, Kansas City, Newcastle (UK), Rome, and Tokyo are the home of “featured” 2013 Maker Faires (200+ makers), and community-driven, independently organized Mini Maker Faires are now being produced around the United States and the world—including right here in Miami.
The Miami Mini Maker Faire will be a smaller, community-focused event, and will feature both established and emerging local “makers” specializing in DIY technology, arts and crafts, including hardware hacking, 3D printing, robotics, handmade goods, urban farming and sustainability, alternative energy, apparel, artistic performances, craft food and drink, and educational workshops and installations.
The Greater Miami area has a long tradition of DIY ingenuity and tinkering. Miami Mini Maker Faire is a place for inventors, artists, thinkers, and learners to get together and share their passions and ideas with their community. It is a place to inspire the next generation of makers.
Tickets are available now on makerfairemiami.eventbrite.com.
