What is a Maker Faire??

"Maker" refers to hobbyists and professionals, from hackers to crafters, who are dedicated to the act of creation. It is a culture built on do-it-yourself (DIY) values. Maker Faires and Mini Maker Faires present opportunities for Makers to compare notes, spark ideas for new projects and expand collaboration. 

The Maker Faire movement started in 2006 and has since spread across the US, over to Great Britain and Africa, and to Canada. One Mini Maker Faire has already been held in Ottawa, and another is planned for Vancouver in June 2011.
