There are many examples of large and small Maker Faires, each as successful as the last. This community-based learning event inspiring everyone involved to become a maker can take place on your campus, in your community, with smaller interest groups, etc. Therefore, space needs will change between each Maker Faire. Whether this means an outdoor Maker Faire in the community, hosting Mini Maker Faires on campus or off-campus at other schools, or partnering up with surrounding universities/ organizations to make the Maker Faire happen, the options are endless and will change for each individual Maker Faire.

''Build a Network of Makers: ''Be inclusive of all kinds of making that can be found in the community the Maker Faire is being hosted for. It is important to represent not only scientists and engineers, but to also find the artists, crafters, and other assorted makers that don't fit into any of the categories previously mentioned. This involves reaching out and networking with the community and connecting people through the organization of the event. Look for individuals, groups, institutions, teachers, students, etc.

''All of Us Are Makers: ''Everyone is a maker. Maker Faire is a wonderful way to share this with the community and provides an opportunity for people to see themselves as a creative part their community.

''Events that are open, inclusive, and encouraging.''
