Milwaukee Makerspace’s Power Racing Series team proudly returned to Milwaukee from the Maker Faire KC competition last weekend with two medals and tons of ideas for September’s Maker Faire Milwaukee!

Thanks to Girl Scouts of Southeast Wisconsin and Girls in Tech for helping the Betty Brinn Children’s Museum and the Milwaukee Makerspace test out some concepts for Maker Faire Milwaukee at the Girls in Tech event at Alverno College on June 23. Over 90 Scouts helped us build a trebuchet (gravity catapult), and they got some first-hand experience with our 3D printer, too.

Maker Faire® Milwaukee – it’s official!

The first-ever White House Maker Faire will be held on Wednesday, June 18, and that day has been designated as a nationwide “Day of Making.” It seemed like a good time to make our plans for Milwaukee’s first Maker Faire official, too! Maker Faire Milwaukee will be held on September 27-28 at Wisconsin State Fair Park, on the same weekend as Harvest Fair. Admission is free. Maker Faire Milwaukee’s Call for Makers is now open.  If you are a maker, commercial maker (selling awesome stuff you made), power wheels contestant, potential speaker/presenter, or are interested in leading a workshop, please click here to fill out the Call for Makers form. #MKEMakerFaire #NationOfMakers
