Hello everyone,<\/p>\n

Maker Faire Wayne County happened on a hot and beautifully sunny day on Saturday, May 21st.\u00a0 The University of Akron Wayne College\u2019s Student Life Building and grounds were full of inventive makers and curious faire goers, making for a packed and exciting event.\u00a0 Faire goers were greeted to carnival music from Rob Gregory\u2019s calliope, while Zydeco Bistro<\/a> and Ye Old School Bus<\/a> offered meals and ice cream to hungry patrons.<\/p>\n

This year faire hosted almost 50 \u201cmakers\u201d of all ages, those who are creative, inventive, and passionate about their hobby and excited to share what they do.\u00a0 Maker Faire is all about hand-on activities and there was plenty of that, especially for kids!\u00a0 They doodled with 3D printing \u201cpens\u201d at the 3D Printer Lending Library booth, got their faces painted, and balloon animals made.\u00a0 Kids learned how to play pinball (some for the first time), controlled a mini \u201cbattle bot\u201d at the CHAMP Makerspace booth, and made flashing LED badges at the Learn to Solder booth.<\/p>\n

Maker Faire Wayne County is great for adults, too!\u00a0 Many faire goers were amazed at Elliott\u2019s muon particle detector, Ben\u2019s amazing metal and wood products made by his home built CNC machines, woodburning & carving was demonstrated by the Wilderness Center Woodcarvers\u2019 group, and so much more.<\/p>\n

Maker Faire Wayne County is perfect for showing school projects, too.\u00a0 We were honored that Wooster High School, Orrville Rittman Southeast Schools, Smithville High School, Triway High School, and Norwayne High School brought students and STEAM projects to maker faire where they received plenty of interest and questions!<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

We\u2019ll keep you posted when the next Maker Faire Wayne County will be offered, so be on the lookout for the next event date.\u00a0 Until then, get involved with area maker spaces this summer, such as Schantz Makerspace<\/a>, Apple Creek Historical Society Makerspace<\/a>, and Canton\u2019s CHAMP Makerspace<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Keep making!<\/p>\n
