Call for Makers – Online Edition

MAKERS! WE WANT TO COLLABORATE WITH YOU TO OFFER AN ONLINE MAKER FAIRE THIS YEAR!

Many of you told us you were interested in participating in a fall edition this year; unfortunately COVID had other plans. 🙁

Hence we decided to help you get your project online and viewed by a bigger audience! Thanks to our sponsors and community partners we will be able to create and promote videos and blog posts on social media.

 

 

We are inviting commercial Makers and hobby Maker to participate in 3 different ways:

 

👉 Via professional videos

Welcome our videographer / photographer into your workshop or wherever you create (following Safety protocols / social distancing) to show off your work, or we can arrange a shop space for you if you need. Imagine having your shop at the Faire and our cameraman being the attendees! Don’t be camera shy, this is not live and we can take multiple shots. Most of the visual will be on your creations and we can do some voice over.

👉 Makermade video/photos

Work with our team to send us homemade footage and pictures which will be edited to create short clips. We will work with you to capture your creation the best possible way, and give you pointers on what shots would look good to showcase your art!

👉 Written articles.

Send us pictures of what you are making and we will connect you with our writer to craft a blog post on you and your project! We know many of you fabricate and make things only for fun and have amazing creative ideas that we would love to share with the world!

 

Let’s spread creativity!

COVID-19 Updates

Hello Maker Faire Saskatoon Community!

At Maker Faire we promote STEAM activities through various DIY science and technology projects, educational workshops, whimsical display & art, hand-made crafts, robots and so much more mostly through hands-on activities. The passion and dedication of exhibitors is what makes this event truly fun. Attendees are directly in contact with the Makers, who take time to teach and instruct them through hands-on demonstrations. Interactive exhibits are a staple of Maker Faire!

Considering the present provincial and federal health restrictions and being 6 weeks away from this year’s Maker Faire we have decided to cancel this spring’s edition. In the coming weeks we will be in touch with our Makers to see if a fall edition is a possibility granted that the Covid-19 situation allows us to gather again.

Stay safe and follow social distancing!
