ANN ARBOR – The Ann Arbor Mini Maker Faire is now accepting entries for the Faire set for June 6 at the Washtenaw Community College Morris Lawrence Building.

There is no cost to exhibit at the Faire. Notification of acceptance will be on a rolling basis. Ann Arbor Mini Maker Faire 2015: Saturday June 6, 2015, 10 AM – 4 PM. What we are looking for:

Robotics, CNC

Green Tech (energy production/monitoring, electric vehicles, etc)

DIY Science

Participatory activities (e.g., participatory activities such as silk screening or learn to solder, “Make and Takes”)

Student projects

Radio

Rocketry/ballooning

Unusual tools, machines, techniques

Whimsical technical creations

Fixing and/or taking things apart

Visitors want to learn something, so just as important as your exhibit will be your presence, explaining how you did what you did.

We are not looking for arts and crafts or tech exhibits that people could see in other venues like tradeshows. But an oil painting by a robot painter, for example, will catch our eye.

See the Exhibitor Manual (below) for the policy on sales. Basically, the main purpose of your exhibit should not be sales.

How to Apply

Review the Exhibitor’s Manual. This contains a wealth of information about the Faire, and will give you a better idea of what types of activities and exhibits will work well.

Fill out the Call For Makers

Submit an Exhibitor Application Form that tells about your activity or exhibit. We’ll ask for a description that we can publish, a representative photo we can publish, and contact information for the public to use (websites, email).
