Chișinău Maker Faire 2023 is organized by Clubul Tinerilor Makeri, a non-formal education opportunity, aimed at contributing to the development of technical skills and the spirit of innovation among young people from vocational-technical education institutions in Chișinău, Cahul & Bălți financially supported by Liechtenstein Development Service implemented by ATIC in partnership with Fablab Chișinău, Atelier 99, Tekwill. 

         Maker Faire provides a venue for makers to show examples of their work and interact with others about it. Many makers tell us that they have no other place to show what they do. It is often out of the spotlight of traditional art or science or craft events. DIY often is invisible in our communities, taking place in shops, garages and kitchen tables. So the goal of the event is to make visible the projects and ideas that we don’t encounter every day. Maker Faire, like any fair, might include traditional forms of making but it is primarily designed to be forward-looking, exploring new forms and new technologies.

         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.  Read more on Maker Faire history, the Maker Movement, as well as how to start a Maker Faire or a School Maker Faire where you live.
