ROCHESTER, N.Y. (WROC) – The Maker Faire has returned to Rochester for its 10th year on Saturday. RIT hosted the family-friendly day highlighting resourcefulness and creativity while celebrating the Maker movement in the Gordon Field House. The day is filled with exhibitions, demonstrations, and other activities from 9 a.m. until 5 p.m.
Those who work at the faire say, "The celebration of the DIY spirit and creativity Rochester is a full-on community festival with attractions, exhibits, demonstrations, and performances showcasing the intersection of science, technology, arts, and crafts -- many of them immersive and interactive."
Those who attend will also have the opportunity to learn how to solder, interact with physics experiments, and participate in other hands-on activities and crafts. Maker Faires expose attendees to technology, science, engineering, and art applied to projects that are built within the greater Rochester area and beyond.
"We are hoping to inspire everyone who attends to go out and learn what it takes to create their own projects from what they learned and saw during the day," organizers say.
