We have completed 5 years since our opening and we celebrated the first “MakersFair” organized in Cyprus!
The “MakersFair” took place on Saturday, May 20, 2023, at the Youth Makerspace in Larnaca on the occasion of the 5 years of operation of the space. It is a festival of technology and creation, based on the Makers’ Movement open to the general public, but also to professional or amateur makers. The event included interactive STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, Mathematics) workshops on robotics and programming, as well as constructions with wood. At the same time, there were technology booths that were visited by creators, organizations, and agencies to present their work and constructions. In addition, there were activities and crafts, useful skills demonstration, clay workshop, and cultivation in the venue’s Smart Garden. Participants also had the opportunity to attend inspiring talks from professionals on technology and making, such as 3D printing and virtual reality. The public could also enjoy street food, drink, sweets, and music alongside the activities. Makers Fair aspires to become a new institution that offers the local community the opportunity to foster meaningful dialogue between participants and visitors and become a magnet for ideas.
