Deadline extended for Cincinnati Mini Maker Faire applications


Want to show off your latest DIY project? Perhaps lead a hands-on demonstration or teach others how to make a gadget? If so, the Cincinnati Mini Maker Faire is for you.
 
It’s once again being hosted at the Cincinnati Museum Center, and the application deadline has been extended until June 30, so there’s still time to submit your proposal.
 
According to Cincinnati Museum Center President Elizabeth Pierce, local makers are encouraged to take advantage of the extension so they can showcase the great ideas our region has to offer.
 
“Since we opened the application, we have received an outpouring of interest from makers around the Cincinnati area who want to be a part of this year's Mini Maker Faire,” Pierce says. “We've extended the deadline to ensure that all makers have an opportunity to show off the creativity and ingenuity that this region has to offer.”
 
This year’s Mini Maker Faire — affiliated with the global Maker Faire network created by MAKE magazine — will take place Aug. 29-30.
 
According to its website, Maker Faire is “the Greatest Show (& Tell) on Earth,” mashing up everything from art and science to technology and engineering. Amateurs and professionals of all ages are encouraged to participate.
 
“Cincinnati Museum Center is constantly striving to develop inquisitive minds and serve as a vehicle for creativity,” Pierce says.
 
Cincinnati Mini Maker Faire will be included in the cost of daily Museum Center admission Aug. 29-30 and be free to museum members.
