Hawthorne High School Maker Faire
Part science fair, part county fair, and part something entirely new, Maker Faire is an all-ages gathering of tech enthusiasts, crafters, educators, tinkerers, hobbyists, engineers, science clubs, authors, artists, students, and commercial exhibitors. All of these “makers” come to Maker Faire to show what they have made and to share what they have learned.
This community event will feature over 40 exhibits highlighting student innovators and technical organizations that are excited to build a community of Makers – We are looking to include local scientists, engineers, artists, major museums, and local tech companies – who will showcase their work, or provide hands-on activities to make for a unique experiences for Families, adults, teens, and kids.
