Maker Faire Hong Kong 2017 Call for Makers
- 1. • Web site: http://www.makerfairehongkong.com/ • Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/makerfaireh ongkong • Call for Makers: • English: http://www.makerfairehongkong.co m/eng/join/be-our-maker/ • Chinese: http://www.makerfairehongkong.co m/cht/join/be-our-maker/ • This presentation document: http://www.slideshare.net/cliffordchoy9 /briefing-on-call-for-makers-of-maker- faire-hong-kong-2017-13-dec-2016
- 2. Maker Faire Hong Kong 2017 Dr. Clifford Choy School of Design, The Hong Kong Polytechnic University 14 Jan 2017
- 3. Maker Faire • A family-friendly festival of inventiveness, creativity and resourcefulness • For makers to gather, show what they have made and share what they have learned • To demonstrate what is possible • To exchange knowledge and ideas • To inspire others, and be inspired • Part of science fair, part of fun fair • You can perform/demonstrate “crazy” things • NOT “Book Fair”, “Computer Fair”, “Animation-Comic and Game Fair” in Hong Kong • NOT a trade fair dominated by traditional sales and marketing • NOT an invention show, NOT a technology expo • NOT a competition
- 4. Maker Faire • First launch in Bay Area, USA, in 2006 • In 2015, 150+ Maker Faires around the world, including Featured Maker Faires in Oslo, Rome, Newcastle, Tokyo, Taipei, Shenzhen, Hong Kong • Maker Faire Bay Area 2015 – 1200+ maker entries, 145,000+ attendees, 95+ sponsors • World Maker Faire New York 2015 – 900+ maker entries, 90,000 attendees, 65+ sponsors • Maker Faire Bay Area in 2016 – 150,000 attendees • Promote STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, Mathematics) education • An important event in maker movement
- 5. Who are “makers”? • DIYers • Learners • Educators • Hobbyists • Designers • Technologists • Artists • Inventors • Entrepreneurs • … and others – “We are all makers” • Note: only a small percentage of “makers” are entrepreneurs, and many of them are for fun or leisure
- 6. Maker Movement • Growing culture of hands-on making, creating, designing and innovating • Despite its diversity [in makers’ interests], the movement is unified by a shared commitment to open exploration, intrinsic interests and creative ideas • When I talk about the maker movement, I make an effort to stay away from the word “inventor” – most people just don’t identify themselves that way. “Maker”, on the other hand, describes each one of us no matter how we live our lives, or what our goals might be.
