Our mission, as part of the Maker Faire movement, is to connect, inform and facilitate a Maker community in Mexico and to help people discover the Maker in themselves. The Albuquerque Mini Maker Faire was created specifically to bring such an event to New Mexico. However, we cannot do this alone – we need your help. We are offering sponsorship opportunities to selected businesses that we feel represent the Maker spirit and can benefit from, as well as contribute to, the Maker community.
Who is a Maker?
- Makers are people who embrace the do-it-yourself spirit whether individually, or in teams.
- Makers create, build, invent, re-purpose, hack, alter or otherwise change and improve the world around them through thinking and creativity.
- Makers use Arduino, circuit boards, wood, clay, fabric, LEDs, metal, plastic, robotics, yarn, sewing machines, computers, hot glue guns, paint, batteries, fire, electricity, recyclables – just about anything you can imagine.
