For the sixth year in a row, the dedicated organizers of Maker Faire Hong Kong have put together an exceptional showcase of makers from China and beyond. Last year, Make: Senior Editor Caleb Kraft was there, and he was very impressed with the venue at The Hong Kong Polytechnic University School of Design (PolyU Design, the parent institution of the Faire) as well as the caliber of maker projects on display.
He shared an extensive photo essay of his experience, as well as a long-form video (below) where he walks around the Faire and speaks to a variety of makers, exclaiming, “This Maker Faire is incredible!” The 6th annual Maker Faire Hong Kong takes place this weekend, July 7 and 8, and Make: Executive Editor Mike Senese will be there reporting live, so stay tuned!In many ways, PolyU Design has been the perfect host and organizer of Maker Faire. As noted on the Maker Faire Hong Kong site:
PolyU Design launched the first edition of Maker Faire in Hong Kong in 2015 to promote creative inventions in the city and broaden the horizon of students. It is our mission to breed open-minded and proactive design talents, who will conduct practice-based research and contribute to local design industry, all the while developing their global version. Maker Faire targets participants who are forward-looking, original and entrepreneurial, its core values coincide with that of PolyU Design. It is believed that through participation and experience, students can learn much outside the classroom, and bring Maker culture to local community and group, thereby fostering positive change to Hong Kong society as a whole.
“Maker Faire Hong Kong 2018 x Make Big” is organized by PolyU Design, and with strong support from four facilities in the PolyU, including Faculty of Applied Science & Textile (FAST), Faculty of Construction and Environment (FCE), Faculty of Engineering (FENG) and Faculty of Health and Social Sciences (FHSS).
This year’s Maker Faire Hong Kong is guaranteed to be bigger and better than ever before! There are so many maker exhibits to see and workshops to attend. Check the website for full information. Here’s just a small sampling of what you can expect to see and do!
