Hosted by the Nation of Makers, along with the Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS) and the Congressional Maker Caucus on July 23-24, 2020, the Capitol Hill Maker Faire celebrates the American Maker movement, and provides hands on demonstrations of the breadth of making across the United States. On Day 1, there will be a series of panel discussions with leaders of the Maker movement discussing its impact on topics such as the economy, education, and community development. Day 2 showcases dozens of maker exhibits representative of the breadth of the American maker movement. Interactive displays featuring everything from 3D printed objects, defense technologies, art and robots, to crafts and artisanal handmade goods, will be available to explore.
Driven by engineers, hobbyists, tinkerers, crafters, artists, entrepreneurs and innovators, the U.S. maker movement is changing the face of education, is breathing new life and innovation into American manufacturing, and is strengthening American communities and their economy. It will be a fun and interactive event for members of Congress, staff, and the public.
