Thank You!
On behalf of the Long Island Explorium, we would like to thank everyone involved; makers, sponsors, volunteers, Long Island Explorium Staff, Port Jefferson Village, Greater Port Jefferson Arts Council, and especially all of you who came out to see us! Your support helped make this the best Maker Faire Long Island so far! We look forward to seeing everyone at next year’s event!
What is Maker Faire?
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 hobbies, experiments, projects.
We call it the Greatest Show (& Tell) on Earth - a family-friendly showcase of invention, creativity, and resourcefulness.
Glimpse the future and get inspired!
