Play with Makers of all ages at the premier event for grass-root innovation visiting the McAllen Mini Make Faire Saturday, 21 from 10:00 am to 4:00 pm at the McAllen Creative Incubator. The event is presented by the McAllen Chamber of Commerce, Make Magazine, and Sylvan Learning – RGV; and sponsored by Batteries Plus Bulbs, CopyPlus!, RGV Promos, Watermill Express, Texas Border Business, The Monitor, MegaDoctor, El Periodico U.S.A., deShopping, Multimedios and Corner Bakery Cafe.
Maker Faire began in 2005 in San Mateo, CA by the people behind MAKE and CRAFT magazines. The McAllen Mini Maker Faire takes after its parent event, Maker Faire, which hosts 90,000 visitors in San Mateo in May. The McAllen Mini Maker Faire will be a smaller, community-focused event, but will follow the Maker Faire model of celebrating do-it-yourself creativity and tinkering.
Featuring both established and emerging local “makers,” the McAllen Mini Maker Faire is a family-friendly celebration featuring robots, DIY science and technology, art, unique hand-made crafts, music, performance and installations. There is no cost to attend.
