The Toronto Mini Maker Faire 2014 is happening this weekend at the Toronto Reference Library and it’s free to attend. This will bring together over 10,000 innovators, artists, hackers and entrepreneurs who will showcase their spectacular creations — anything from 3D Printed Live Laser Tag, Twitter Typewriter, Coffee Printer to Light-Up Playground.
“Toronto Public Library is delighted to host the Toronto Mini Maker Faire. The library has a strong tradition of supporting our city’s vibrant community of innovators, entrepreneurs, and artists. We look forward to showcasing makers and their creations in a unique and inventive event at the Toronto Reference Library this weekend,” says Linda Mackenzie, Director of Research and Reference Libraries.
“We are supporting Maker Faire because it is an event that dares you to create and explore the world around you. Every visit to Maker Faire has left me in awe at the ingenuity surrounding me. I view it as the fire that drives our entrepreneurial passion” says Leila Boujnane, CEO of TinEye.
Over 60 cities around the world host Maker Faires, including other Canadian locations such as Vancouver, Calgary, Edmonton, Waterloo, Ottawa and Montreal. The Toronto Mini Maker Faire starts November 22nd until 23 at the Toronto Reference Library (789 Yonge Street – Yonge and Bloor).
