Maker Faire Orlando

Maker Faire Orlando is a non-profit, community-organized celebration featuring local do-it-yourself science, art, rockets, robots, crafts, technology, music, and hands-on activities. The family-friendly showcase of invention, creativity, and resourcefulness returns Nov. 9-10, 2024, where people show what they are making and share what they are learning at the 12th annual event at the Central Florida Fairgrounds.

Exhibits & Hands-on Workshops
From engineers to artists to scientists to crafters, makers showcase hobbies, experiments, and projects. Immerse yourself in Maker culture with exhibits, a performance stage, big art, and spectacle. Experience hands-on learning by people who make, play, tinker, and hack, including robotics, cosplay, STEM & STEAM, crafts, science, electronics, tools, and crazy things you’ve never seen!

Robot Ruckus
Robot Ruckus is included with all Maker Faire Orlando tickets. See your favorite robot builders having fun destroying each other’s toys! Meet your favorite BattleBots builders, as seen on the Discovery Channel and Discovery+, and local robots competing in multiple weight classes. Bots of all sizes will compete, and several of your favorite BattleBots will be displayed.

Power Racing Series
Power Racing is a fun-filled racing experience where makers construct their machines to go racing. Racers can spend up to $500 on a racer that looks like a children’s ride or toy. Individuals and teams (friends, businesses, organizations) join in the fun to compete for Power Racing bragging rights.

Interact and observe cosplay makers in their element and working on their craft.
