Source: Make: DIY Projects and Ideas for Makers
Last weekend, June 23-24 Prague hosted its very first Maker Faire and the first ever in the Czech Republic. I attended to check it out, not fully knowing what to expect from this faire since it was their first. They definitely had an advantage over most fledgling faires with Josef Prusa, the 3D printer creator and long-time Maker Faire veteran at the helm of the ship.
With around 180 makers all from the Czech Republic, this show knocked it out of the park.The Faire took place at the Industrial Place in the Holešovice neighborhood in Prague. This Art Nouveau masterpiece, built in 1891, was a spectacular backdrop to the event.
To compliment this beautiful building, numerous art projects showed off the skills of some of Czechia’s talented makers. I especially loved the hand blown glass steam engines created by Michal Zahradník.
There were plenty of hands-on activities that kept all of the attendees entertained all weekend, but especially the young makers who may have been discovering their future passion.
