Join us this Saturday from 10am - 4pm for the 3rd Annual Urbana Champaign Mini Maker Faire! This is a one-day, family-friendly event that celebrates arts, crafts, engineering, music, science, and technology projects and the Do-It-Yourself spirit in our community. At the UC Mini Maker Faire, the focus is on the process of making -- not just the finished product.  It is located at the IMC at 202 S. Broadway Ave. in the Urbana downtown post office building (now a media and arts center!)

 

This year we're featuring 19 wonderful local makers including:

• Central Illinois Aeprospace - Yup they got rockets
• Makerspace Urbana - Come learn to solder
• Origami by Xudong - Amazing Origami display and demonstration
• CMKT 4  - Circuit Bent Music
• FRC Team 4096, "Ctrl-Z"  - Robotics Team
• CUDO Plays - Game design competition
• Illinois Geometry Lab  - Beautiful math printed in 3D
• and many many more!
