This spectacular one-day event is part of the hugely popular Maker Faire family. Mini Maker Faire is an independent day-long community event where all kinds of “makers” get together to showcase their work. The open call for makers runs until Thursday, March 15th. Makers can be tech enthusiasts, crafters, educators, tinkerers, hobbyists, science clubs, students, authors or commercial exhibitors; anyone with a do-it-yourself attitude to technology. Individuals, groups, schools and organisations are all invited to apply. Dublin Mini Maker Faire will be an opportunity for makers to interact with each other, to share ideas, and to show examples of their work, projects, crafts, inventions, products and hacks in a vibrant fair-style event. It will incorporate stalls, talks, workshops and more, and is already supported by Dublin City of Science, NUI Maynooth, TOG, and Irish Robotics Club. We will also need volunteers, equipment, financial support, workshop leaders, exhibitors, and much more, as we get closer to July.

As Maker Faire continues to grow in popularity and relevance, it expanded to Detroit and New York City in 2010. Maker Faire is supported by MAKE Magazine and O’Reilly Media, the premier information source for leading-edge computer technologies. The company’s books, conferences and web sites bring to light the knowledge of technology innovators. Community-driven, independently produced Mini Maker Faire events inspired by Maker Faire are now being produced around the United States and beyond including this inaugural event in Dublin. *ABOUT HACK THE CITY* Science Gallery’s 2012 flagship exhibition and festival HACK THE CITY will rethink our cities from the ground up through the spirit and philosophy of the hacker ethos – to bend, mash-up, tweak and cannibalise our city systems, to create possibilities, illustrate visionary thinking and demonstrate real-world examples for sustainable urban futures. It will be a centrepiece in Dublin’s tenure as European City of Science 2012 and will capitalise on Dublin city’s history, legacy, population and infrastructure, transforming the city itself into a nimble “playground” and live urban hack lab. *ABOUT SCIENCE GALLERY *Science Gallery at Trinity College Dublin is a world first, a space that ignites creativity and discovery where science and art collide. Since opening in early 2008, over 850,000 people have experienced 19 exhibitions ranging from light to love, from sustainability to infection. Science Gallery’s 20th exhibition, EDIBLE, is part of a vibrant 2012 programme to celebrate Dublin’s tenure as European City of Science including HAPPY?, HACK THE CITY, NANOLAB and GAME.
