In 2012, Ignition Northwest will sponsor Seattle’s first Mini-Maker Faire, thanks largely to the efforts of event producer Christin Boyd. Seattle Mini Maker Faire will be held at Seattle Center on June 2 – 3, from 10am – 5pm.
The mission of Maker Faire events is to inspire, inform, connect and entertain thousands of Makers and aspiring Makers of all ages and backgrounds through the public gathering of tech enthusiasts, crafters, educators, tinkers, hobbyists, science clubs, students, authors and commercial exhibitors.
The inaugural Maker Faire was held in San Mateo, CA and in 2011 celebrated its sixth annual Bay Area event with some 100,000 people in attendance. In 2010, Maker Faire expanded to Detroit and New York City.
Community driven, independently produced Mini Maker Faire events inspired by Maker Faire are now being produced around the United States and the world, including Seattle Mini Maker Faire. Maker Faire is supported by MAKE Magazine and O’Reilly Media.
