East Idaho’s Maker Faire is a showcase of invention and creativity and a celebration of the Maker movement.

A maker can be anyone, regardless of age, who creates something all their own. They could be tech enthusiasts, crafters, educators, tinkerers, hobbyists, engineers, science clubs, authors, artists, students, commercial exhibitors, or the like. At the Faire, these makers come together to demonstrate their innovations and inspire creativity and curiosity among visitors young and old.

Maker Faire originated in 2006 in the San Francisco Bay Area as a project of the editors of Make: magazine. It has since grown into a significant worldwide network of both flagship and independently produced events.
