Even though we’re postponing the Festival, we’re leaving the Call for Makers open. We still want you to apply! A big part of our programming process is confirming makers’ availability for the Festival. When we have our new date, you’ll be the first to learn, and we will understand if you can’t make it. We hope this extra time at home means that makers will be able to really take their making to the next level. We look forward to seeing what you’ve made and helping you show it off at Maker Festival!
We also want you to know that our Call For Volunteers and our Join The Team campaign will remain open. So add your name to our list! Maker Festival is a 100% volunteer-run event and we have roles open on our Organizing Team as well as volunteering on the day of the event. Volunteering is a great way to share your talents, learn cool things AND have fun while supporting the maker community.
WHAT IS MAKER FESTIVAL?
Maker Festival brings together Toronto’s most creative people and projects to inspire an openness to possibilities, a sense of active participation in shaping our world, and a yearning for a more wonder-filled tomorrow. This new partnership will build on the creative imagination of previous Maker Festival events, and incorporate the inspiring environment of Ontario Science Centre.
WHO IS A MAKER?
If you make something using your head, hands and heart, then HAZAA! – you’re a Maker! Simple right? We’re now on the hunt for creative people, projects, organizations and ideas to take part in Maker Festival. If you’re a maker, show us your stuff! And don’t forget there’s Rally Alley — the zone curated for makers start-ups with physical prototypes. Go makers, go!
Maker Festival is a 100% volunteer organized non-profit event that would not be possible without the generous support of our sponsors. For more information on becoming a sponsor, please contact Jen Dodd directly at jen@makerfestival.ca or 416-997-9048.
