We would also like to thank all of our sponsors, without whom this could not be a reality!

Nova Scotia
Virtual Maker Faire was on May 12th & 13th. This free event highlighted inspiring creations from Nova Scotia makers of all ages and passions with pre-recorded events!
It is clear that youth were thinking about the future of our climate. For example, students have prototyped a robot that plants seeds, a solar cell phone charging station, and entrepreneurial ideas to help solve the supply change food crisis by collecting food scraps from local grocers, and the community at large, to harvest seeds for edible gardens.
Newfoundland & Labrador
We hosted a virtual School Maker Faire May 13th showcasing student projects from across the province. Plus, we hosted an open house on May 14th at our new MakerSpace at Keyin College, 644 Topsail Road. There were activities, student projects and hands-on making stations to help families, students & teachers explore the fun of learning when making!
