Maker Fest: Robots, Virtual Reality & More

Maker Fest celebrates arts, crafts, engineering, technology, and the DIY movement. It’s a free event and open to all ages.

More than 400 people attended last year’s inaugural event. Its success and interest in the community prompted the event committee to organize another exciting event with new additions. Maker Fest attendees will be able to tinker with hands-on activities and watch demonstrations which include:

• Robots in action

• Virtual reality experience

• A modeling clay project

• Collaborating on a wooden sculpture

• Glass fusing demonstration

• Code a Raspberry Pi computer

• Plant a bulb in a recycled container

• And much more!

Maker Fest features hobbyists, crafters, local businesses, and other DIYers in the community including The Home Depot, Art Station, BOT Spot Robots, Lurvey Garden Center & Landscape Supply, Wheel & Sprocket, and many more.
