The Maker Faire Long Island can’t happen without Volunteers! We need people willing to help put on the “Greatest Show (& Tell) on Earth” for everyone in our community.
Maker Faire is a gathering of fascinating, curious people who enjoy learning and who love sharing what they can do. From engineers to artists to scientists to crafters, Maker Faire is a venue for these "makers" to show hobbies, experiments, projects.
We call it the Greatest Show (& Tell) on Earth - a family-friendly showcase of invention, creativity, and resourcefulness.
