The Big Muddy Mini Maker Faire 2020 Call for Makers is open and invites individuals and groups to be makers on March 7, 2020, at Restoration Natatorium in St. Joseph.

In its third year, The Big Muddy Mini Maker Faire continues to grow and features makers from around the region. The Big Muddy Mini Maker Faire is seeking individuals of all ages, groups/clubs, schools, higher education institutions, companies or organizations that would like to show their creations and share their learnings. Exhibits range from glass blowing to virtual reality.

Donna Gibson, The Big Muddy Mini Maker Faire producer, said the event encourages makers to feature hands-on learning during their demonstrations.

“The Big Muddy Mini Maker Faire is an opportunity for attendees to experience a variety of career fields in STEAM,” Gibson said. “STEAM inspired booths at our past two faires have included building birdhouses, spinning yarn and playing music with man-made lightning.”

Makers are encouraged to exhibit and demonstrate at no charge unless they plan to sell product. The goal of the Faire is to entertain, inform, connect and grow maker culture and opportunities for DIY and learning for the Northwest Missouri region. The Big Muddy Mini Maker Faire participants can inspire creativity and create public awareness of their programs.
