ANNOUNCING: THE OZARKS MINI MAKER FAIRE & INNOVATION EXPO will be held on August 29, 2015 from 10a.m.- 6p.m. at the Springfield Expo Center.  It will be a family friendly event with all sorts of hands-on activities for makers of all ages.

What is a Maker: Simply it’s someone who makes something, whether it’s someone in their garage or shop with a 3D printer, CNC machine, designing robots, creating software, or artisans.

What is a Maker Faire:  This event will be part science fair, part county fair, and part something entirely new.  It is an all-ages gathering of tech enthusiasts, crafters, educators, tinkerers, hobbyists, engineers, science clubs, authors, artists, students, and commercial exhibitors. All of these “creative souls” will come to showcase what they have made and to share what they have learned. It is a community-based learning event that inspires everyone to become a maker, and connect with people and projects in their local community.

So mark your calendars and invite all your friends to attend this exciting day of exploring, learning and making new things.

This event will be entertaining, educational, and inspiring!
