EC Maker Faire

ivities. We will have a broad range of participants from Union College, the Schenectady community and the Capital District. We are gathering faculty and students, local makers, small businesses, high school STEAM programs, First Robotics, local Maker Spaces and many others to make it a well-rounded event that promotes making, hands-on learning, STEAM education and the local community. It promises to be a fun and educational day intended to help create connections between Union and the community and to strengthen the network of creatives, technologists and makers at Union, in Schenectady, the Capital District and beyond! Maker Faire originated in 2006 in the San Francisco Bay Area as a project of the editors of Make: magazine. It has since grown into a significant worldwide network of both flagship and independently-produced events.
