Maker Faire Rocklin

Maker Faire Rocklin A family-friendly festival celebrating invention, creativity and invention. Only "mini" in scale compared to Maker Faire Bay Area! Since 2010.

A Maker Faire is about celebrating learning and doing – not just the finished and perfect end product. It’s a place to show projects, share what we’re learning with others, and celebrate the fun and freedom of being an amateur. Featuring both established and emerging local “makers,” the Rocklin Mini Maker Faire is a family-friendly celebration featuring rockets and robots, digital fabrication, DIY science and technology, urban farming and sustainability, alternative energy, bicycles, unique hand-made crafts, music and local food, and educational workshops and installations. The Rocklin Mini Maker Faire follows the “big” Maker Faire model of celebrating invention, creativity, and resourcefulness, but is smaller in scale and will showcase the wonders of Placer and Sacramento counties and beyond!
