The Dover Mini Maker Faire is a day long festival in downtown Dover, NH where people of all ages show what they are making, and share what they are learning.
Organized by the Children's Museum of NH, this isn't your typical New England fair, although we always have great food! More than 1,600 people attended last year to interact with robots, play with rockets, try their hands at science experiments, geek out with innovative technology, create arts and crafts and more. This year, with over 65 Makers participating, we'll have pirates, ice cream made with liquid nitrogen, beer tasting, live music, virtual reality, a video game trailer, fun with clay, a beekeeper, lego robots, student robots, professionally built robots, face painting, meatball subs, fusion food, cupcakes, Raspberry Pi, screen printing, arts and crafts, coffee tasting, a chance to talk to a satelite, comic workshops, fairy house building, egg drop challenges, and SO MUCH MORE!Learn more at http://dover.makerfaire.com.
