Maker Faire Plans

Attention

Postponed:

After some discussion with the Maker Faire organizers, the SECC Office of Education, and the title sponsors for the Loma Linda Maker Faire, we have concluded that circumstances are just not appropriate to proceed with the Maker Faire for this year. Amid the concern surrounding COVID-19, the timing of this “hands-on-activities” event is not the best and we have made the decision to postpone this year’s fair until further notice.

Goal: Inspire and develop the next generation of makers, creators and innovation.

This event is focused on stimulating and inspiring the creative minds of students and community members alike through “S.T.E.A.M.S.” the display of Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, Math & Service.

The main focus of this event is to create an infrastructure that encourages hands-on activities to support different methods of learning.

This celebration of learning will bring together business and community members who will make visible the projects and ideas that we don’t encounter every day.

This Do-It-Yourself culture encourages the presence of woodworkers, musicians, engineers, culinary experts, poets and other enthusiasts of all kinds. Attendees may witness fire-breathing robots, explore race car engines, listen to live performers, play life-sized board games and take part in sustainability green projects. The opportunities are seemingly endless.

About the Maker Faire

There will be over 3,500 attendees including young students (elementary to high school age) and community members eager to explore and take part in a hands on, creative environment hosted by over a hundred inventive Makers!

This community is highly influential as its members continue educating themselves at a high rate every year.

The Maker Faire will be held on the LLA school campus which resides on 40 acres of land within the city of Loma Linda, California. The wide landscape allows easy access to stage performers, interactive maker booths and presenters for a high volume of attendees.

What is the Maker Faire?

A Bit of History: Maker Faire is the Greatest Show (and Tell) on Earth—a family-friendly festival of invention, creativity and resourcefulness, and a celebration of the Maker movement. Part science fair, part county fair, and part something entirely new, Maker Faire is an all-ages gathering of tech enthusiasts, crafters, educators, tinkerers, hobbyists, engineers, science clubs, authors, artists, students, and commercial exhibitors. All of these “makers” come to Maker Faire to show what they have made and to share what they have learned.
