Los Angeles Maker Faire + City of STEM event banner

This year, Los Angeles Maker Faire and City of STEM Festival will both be taking place at the same time and the same place for one huge all-day extravaganza.

This mega event will feature:

  • Over 200 exhibits highlighting organizations and innovators – including scientists, engineers, artists, major museums, NASA, and tech companies.
  • Hands-on activities and unique experiences for adults, teens, and kids.
  • A special appearance by Bill Nye, the Science Guy to kick off the event.

Los Angeles Maker Faire is spearheaded by the Los Angeles Public Library and is a continuation of the DTLA Mini Maker Faires that the Library has hosted since 2016. Maker Faire is a gathering of fascinating, curious people who enjoy learning and who love sharing what they can do.

City of STEM is L.A.’s largest community-based initiative focused on science, technology, engineering, and math. Created in 2015 by the Columbia Memorial Space Center to encourage and inspire the public, City of STEM is also a celebration of Southern California’s historic achievements in science.
