Columbia Mini Maker Faire

On Saturday, May 21, from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., EdVenture Children’s Museum will host the fourth annual Mini Maker Faire. A popular “show and tell” event for all-ages, it features works from local DIY tech enthusiasts, crafters, tinkerers, hobbyists, engineers and artists. It is designed to give local “makers” an opportunity to share their talent and inspire others to explore their inner inventor. Part science fair, part county fair, and part something entirely new, the Mini Maker Faire is a festival of invention, creativity and resourcefulness, and a celebration of the maker movement. Groups or individuals interested in showcasing their talents just need to complete a simple submittal application at MakerFaireColumbiaSC.com.

Cost: Call for details. Location: Edventure Children’s Museum, 211 Gervais St., Columbia. For more information, visit MakerFaireColumbiaSC.com.
