TEK VENTURE Hosts Maker Faire at Headwaters Park, Downtown Fort Wayne

What is Maker Faire™?


"The Maker movement has brought the pre-1970s world of basement workshops and amateur tinkering into the digital age." - The New York Times

Fort Wayne Regional Maker Faire™ is a family-friendly event to MAKE, create, learn, invent, CRAFT, recycle, think, play and be inspired by celebrating arts, crafts, engineering, food, music, science and technology.
