Ingenuity Cleveland is pleased to announce the area?s first Mini Maker Faire in collaboration with the Cleveland Public Library. ?The event will take place on Saturday, April 13 from 10 am ? 6:00 pm at the Library?s downtown branch (325 Superior Ave., N.E. Cleveland, OH 44114.) ?This free event will allow people of all ages to learn, discover, create, and play along with ?makers? and creators from the region?s business, non-profit, and scholastic sectors.
Ingenuity is still actively seeking participants and sponsors to exhibit, display, demonstrate, and present at the Cleveland Maker Faire. ?Please visit www.makerfairecleveland.com for details.
?This event is part of our overall strategy of redefining the library as a community resource for exploration and inspiration,? said Cleveland Public Library?s Programming Director, Aaron Mason. ??The creation of TechCentral, a technology and learning center located in the Lower Level of the Louis Stokes Wing of the Main Library, was part of this initiative and fits perfectly into the Maker movement happening all over the world.?
The Maker Movement, made up of creators, inventors, crafters, and techies strives to inspire, unite, and inform while celebrating the DIY community. ?Maker Faires are a celebration of the innovation and resourcefulness of the ever-growing Maker Movement. ?While Maker Faires have been held in such U.S. cities as Detroit, San Francisco, and New York, the Ingenuity Mini Maker Faire will be the first of its kind in Cleveland.
?Ingenuity?s mission is to explore the space where humanity and technology meet,? said James Krouse, Ingenuity?s Artistic Director. ??Partnering on this event allows us to fulfill that mission beyond the annual festival and also work with artists, creative technologists, companies, schools, and community groups to cultivate projects on an ongoing basis.?
