Call-out for Makers

Edinburgh Mini Maker Faire - Sunday 7 April, 2013 - Summerhall

The Mini Maker Faire is the hottest show (and tell) in town -a family-friendly showcase of invention,
creativity and resourcefulness, and a celebration of the maker movement. It's a place where people
show what they are making, and share what they are learning.
We're looking for people who love to make things - whatever and whoever that might be - to get
involved in the Edinburgh Mini Maker Faire this spring. If you like to tinker, invent or build this
is a chance for you to show off your work and meet other makers. For more information visit our
