The Pennington School is hosting the first annual Mercer Bucks Mini Maker Faire this Sunday, April 8 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.
A gathering of tech enthusiasts, inventors, Makers, engineers, students and commercial exhibitors, the Mercer Bucks Mini Maker Faire offers participants an opportunity to see and explore creativity and innovation.
There will be two TED-style lectures at the Makerfaire: Ricky Solorzano, co-founder and CEO at Allevi, will explain how tissues are created through bio-printing and also what the future holds for bio-manufacturing, and Rebecca Rescate, founder of Rebecca Rescate Brands, will share her experience pitching two of her inventions on ABC’s Shark Tank.
More than 30 “makers” who will be in attendance at the event include Rcade Virtual Reality, Brian Patton’s Social Robots, Bucks County Drones, Black Rocket Presents, Craig Trader’s Chaos Machine, Advanced Solar Products, and more. There will be 16 different hands-on activities for kids and adults, including robot programming, painting, creating with 3D pens, and playing in a virtual world.
Maker Faire is a gathering of fascinating, curious people who enjoy learning and who love sharing what they can do. From engineers to artists to scientists to crafters, Maker Faire is a venue for these “makers” to show inventions, experiments and projects.
