What is MakeIt Fest?

#MakeItFest is a gathering of area makerspaces, artists, makers, and creators of all kinds. This exciting, interactive, family friendly event will showcase projects created at local makerspaces and other DIY (Do It Yourself) groups. We had robot exhibitions, drone demonstrations, interactive classes, hands-on activities as well as informative displays. From Woodworking to Robotics we had experts and evangelists to show their latest creations and get you excited to make your own. There were several contests and raffles open to all attendees, including a raffle of a Flashforge 3D printer.
