This is not an exclusive meeting. Bring friends, or anyone that may want to get involved in any capacity.

We’re absolutely thrilled with our response from our call for Makers. It’s amazing what talent, creativity and ingenuity exists in the city, and we can’t wait to start showcasing cool projects and bringing people together for the event.

Location:

Great Northern Way Campus, at 577 Great Northern Way at eatART. The eatART building is in the back of the main building, the one with all of the graphics on it (see both photos below). Please note that if you made it out for our general Makers meeting early in the year, this is a different building (NOT Vancouver Community Lab).

Time/Date:

Monday, April 11th at 6:30 pm

If you can make it, please RSVP to vancouver@makerfaire.ca and let us know if you’re going to be bringing friends or passing the invite along to mailing lists or larger groups.

Looking forward to it!

We have received a grand total of 85 applications ! Check out the handy line graph below to see how the application process took off.

A quick review shows that many of these submissions are flat-out amazing! We’ll soon be posting maker profiles to give you an idea of what you can expect to see at Vancouver Mini Maker Faire. Review of the applications will begin immediately, and we hope to get back to all applicants by Monday, March 28th. Thanks again for being so patient with such an early deadline! If you have any questions or concern about anything Maker-related, please email makers@makerfaire.ca

With three days to go before the deadline, we already have 46 applications submitted. Thanks to all you early applicants! Your enthusiasm makes us all warm and fuzzy. Vancouver Mini Maker Faire is shaping up to be a well-rounded festival: potential exhibits so far include huge robots, tiny robots, vehicles, multimedia displays, fire art, soundscapes, open source software, crafts, jewellery, alternative energy, demonstrations for kids and adults, and many more wild and wonderful things. We have been very impressed with the quality of submissions.

The deadline for submissions is Thursday, March 17th. The application can be found here. If the deadline is a problem for you in any way (including the classic “I’ve got so many projects that I just don’t know what to bring!!!”) contact makers (at) makerfaire (dot) ca.

Thanks again for those that have applied! If you are interested in becoming a Maker and haven’t applied yet, our deadline for Calls for Makers will be on March 17th. In order to properly accommodate your needs we ask that you officially apply to our Call for Makers.

Please note that if you can only exhibit for one day or for a couple of hours either day, we would still love to have you. If you want to participate but can’t make the March 17th deadline, or if you have any questions/concerns whatsoever, please contact makers@makerfaire.ca.

In the meantime, check out a breakdown of some of the projects we’ve received below:

Thanks to those that came out! We had such a great turn-out despite torrential weather conditions. It was great to chat more about your projects, and to learn more about what people are making in Vancouver. We’ve had some great submissions so far and look forward to meeting again! I can’t wait to start posting about some of the submissions we’ve received, there are so many talented individuals out there working on such great projects!

.

If you’re interested in exhibiting any of your work, please submit your application, our call for Makers will be open until March 17th. We want to hear from you! (c’mon crafters! You too!)
