About Maker Faire Long Island

The Greatest Show (& Tell) on Earth – Right Here on Long Island!

Maker Faire Long Island is more than an event — it’s a celebration of creativity, curiosity, and community. Produced by the Long Island Explorium, a children’s STEAM museum, Maker Faire Long Island brings together inventors, artists, engineers, scientists, crafters, and performers for a full day of wonder and discovery.

Now in our 8th year, the Faire is bigger and bolder than ever, taking place at Stony Brook University on Sunday, September 14, 2025. This exciting new venue opens the door to more interactive exhibits, large-scale installations, and a greater variety of hands-on experiences for all ages.

What is Maker Faire?

Maker Faire is often called the greatest show-and-tell on Earth — a festival of invention, creativity, and resourcefulness that welcomes makers of all kinds. You’ll find:

• Robotics & Drones — From student-built bots to competitive drone soccer.
• 3D Printing & Fabrication — See your ideas take shape right before your eyes.
• Interactive Art & Design — Giant sculptures, wearable tech, and mind-bending visuals.
• Science in Action — Live experiments, chemistry shows, and space exploration demos.
• DIY Workshops — Learn soldering, coding, crafting, and more.

Why Attend?

At Maker Faire Long Island, you are not just a spectator — you are part of the experience. Every booth, stage, and exhibit is designed to invite participation, spark conversations, and inspire your next big idea. Whether you’re a budding inventor, a curious student, a family looking for a day of fun, or a professional looking to network with innovators, you’ll find your tribe here.
