1st Athens Mini Maker Faire 2016 Comes to Greece With DIY Secrets and Satisfaction

Maker Faire, a family-friendly showcase of invention and creativity, premieres in Greece with the first Athens Mini Maker Faire 2016 from October 1-2. The event takes place at the Peristeri Exhibition Center giving participants a chance to display their DIY projects and inventions while visitors draw inspiration and participate in interactive activities that encourage learning and making things at a time when everything is mass-produced.
Much like a large show and tell, makers include tech enthusiasts, crafters, homesteaders, scientists and garage tinkerers of all ages and backgrounds. The goal of the event is to encourage more people to create so that the community of makers can grow.
The first Maker Faire took place in San Mateo, California, and it has grown over the last decade to include 1,200 makers and 145,000 visitors in the 2015 annual show celebrating a decade worth of maker faires. Another flagship event is the World Maker Faire New York that has grown in the last five years in a movement that has grown to include Berlin, Paris, Rome, Tokyo, Shenzhen and more than 120 community-driven maker faires.
Now is Greece’s turn to unite with makers around the world. The events are the brainchild of Make, the first magazine devoted entirely to do-it-yourself (DIY) projects.
Tickets for the Greek Maker Faire (Exhibition Center of Peristieri, 106 Dodekanisou Street, Peristeri) are available at viva.gr, 11876, Public, Seven Spots, Ianos, Reload and  Media Markt. The nearest metro station is at Anthoupoli (red line). The event takes place from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m.
