Local and regional Makers will show off their creations at the second annual Fort Wayne Regional Maker Faire, Saturday and Sunday, October 6-7, 2012. This family-friendly event is again at Headwaters Park East – Lincoln Pavilion in Fort Wayne, Indiana.

The Faire features silkscreening, robots, sustainable technology, electronics and more, all with an emphasis on “do it yourself”.

The mission of the Fort Wayne Regional Maker Faire is to present interesting or unique exhibits, individuals, and demonstrations in DIY science, technology, engineering, and art that excite, motivate, and educate. The emphasis is on cool things, skills, and knowledge. As a shorthand, the exhibits are the kind of thing you’d see in Make Magazine. The Faire is organized by TekVenture, a Fort Wayne area non-profit promoting the informal technology culture, and is organized in cooperation with Maker.
