Calling all makers and exhibitors! Join us to showcase your creativity!
CALLING ALL MAKERS & STEM ORGANIZATIONS
The LA Maker Faire + City of STEM is a family and adult-friendly event that brings together science, technology, engineering, the arts, and mathematics (STEAM) along with craft, homesteading, music, workshops, and performance.
This mega event is expected to attract thousands of guests to see what and how people are inventing, making, and creating.
We want you to showcase your creative and innovative spirit, whether you’re a hobbyist, established maker, or a cutting edge organization—anyone who is embracing the DIY or DIT (do-it-together) spirit and wants to share their accomplishments with an appreciative audience!
Exhibits that are interactive or highlight the process of making things are especially desired.

Here are some suggested ideas for topics that we’re looking for:
Maker Exhibit
Businesses, Schools, groups, individuals, and organizations that would like to demonstrate what they make and/or how it works in an exhibit space; interactive exhibits are encouraged. For maker groups, please have one point person to coordinate your efforts.
The LA Maker Faire + City of STEM provides all Makers that are participating with exhibit space, tables, chairs, power, entry passes, etc., at no cost to the Maker.
Presentations at the Communal Presentation Tent (i.e., away from your booth)
Can be demos, stories, how-tos, workshops, and group (panel) conversations.
These can be Individuals and groups who would like to talk about an idea or project of interest to the Maker community, makers who are interested in demonstrating what they make and how it works in a stage setting, OR offering hands-on activities with materials and supplies provided.
Presentations are typically 25 or 45 minutes, with some time for Q&A. If you are applying on behalf of someone else, you’ll have the opportunity in the Entry Form to enter public-facing presenter information and remain the primary contact.
