Calling All Makers For Building Steam Festival

The Building Steam Maker Festival is looking for makers and crafters to participate in a three-day maker festival at Bell Works, 101 Crawfords Corner Rd, Holmdel, NJ. The festival, held May 13-15, 2016, will bring together the maker community, schools and industry to illustrate innovation, creativity, and invention to provide a hands-on, immersive environment of learning and exploration.

Building Steam invites makers, crafters, enthusiasts, hobbyists, innovators, entrepreneurs, and tinkerers of all kinds to participate in this event. The festival is a family-oriented event that will include exhibits, activities, vendors and sellers, food trucks and much more.

Friday, May 13 is designated as an education day, when area schools are invited to bring students, teachers and parents to experience a day of S.T.E.A.M.
