Maker Faire is coming to Grand Rapids! This two day event is the first annual Grand Rapids Mini Maker Faire, and is scheduled for August 30 & 31. Maker Faire combines the traditional science fair with innovation and engineering capitalizing on the Maker movement for something entirely new.

Visitors will see installations from the GR Makers, the Geek Group, GRCC and other local West Michigan inventors, innovators, and tinkerers.
The Grand Rapids Mini Maker Faire is being organized by the GR Makers, The Geek Group, Grand Rapids Community College, Genesis Inc. and the Grand Rapids Public Museum.
