Maker Faire Cairo is a family-friendly showcase of invention, creativity and resourcefulness, and a celebration of the Maker Movement. It’s a place where people show what they're making, and share what they're learning. This year's edition will take place on Saturday, 26 March, at The Greek Campus in downtown Cairo, Egypt.

Makers will range from tech enthusiasts to crafters to homesteaders, to scientists to garage tinkerers. They are of all ages and backgrounds. The aim of Maker Faire is to entertain, inform, connect and grow this community. You can also participate as a speaker, an exhibitor, or a workshop organizer.

The original Maker Faire event was held in San Mateo, CA and in 2014 celebrated its ninth annual show with some 1100 makers and 130,000 people in attendance. World Maker Faire New York, the other flagship event, has grown in four years to 600+ makers and 80,000 attendees. Detroit, Kansas City, Atlanta, Milwaukee, Orlando, Silver Spring, Paris, Rome, Oslo, Trondheim, Tokyo, Newcastle (UK), and Shenzhen are the home of larger-scale, “featured” Maker Faires and over 120 community-driven, independently organized Mini Maker Faires are now being produced around the United States and the world.

On March 26 Fab Lab Egypt is organizing the biggest event to ever hit the maker community in Egypt and the Arab World where geeks, artists, engineers, craftsmen, entrepreneurs and more will come from all over the region to show, learn and discover awesome new things and ideas. The aim of Maker Faire Cairo is to entertain, inform, connect and grow this community through workshops, sessions, projects, exhibitions, performances and more.
