The Treehouse Group and Site 3 coLaboratory are co-organizing a Mini Maker Faire in Toronto, May 7 & 8, at the Evergreen Brick Works.

A Maker Faire is a place for Makers to come together to compare notes, see what others are doing, and to spark ideas for new projects and expanded collaboration. It facilitates the exchange of information throughout a community whose members in many cases work alone or in groups that have limited opportunities to associate with one-another. Toronto Mini Maker Faire will include: commercial and non-commercial Makers, designers, hackerspaces, workshops, demos and speakers. It will be entertaining and educational. The majority of our booths will be interactive, and visitors will have opportunities to take home a part of the experience when they participate.

Friend of the Program(mers) cartoonist John Martz has generously offered to provide robot illustrations to anyone who donates over $25, and customized robot illustrations to anyone who donates $100 or more.

To FURTHER sweeten the deal, one of our donors will be selected at random to receive a copy of “Snip, Burn, Solder, Shred” by David Erik Nelson.

Who will you see there? SO many awesome people here's just a starter list!
