''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.
=== Considerations and Support:<br/> ===
Four Avenues of Support for the Maker Faire:
1. Leadership Team: This co-creative team needs to have passion and vision to organize the makers and showcase their innovation. Preperation and planning are extensive, and the team is responsible to pushing through these stages to the logistics and details as well as running the event and driving towards a successful Maker Faire. Included in the leadership team is the faculty advisor that can help with funding, outreach, licensing, and logistics during planning and the actual event.
2. Host Organization: Any scale Maker Faire will need a host or parnter organization. Examples that may bring value include marketing and promotion, payment processing, receiver of money from grants or scholarships, pool of volunteers, access to existing relationships in the community, or groups with relevant experience from hosting events. These organizations can all help the Maker Faire to prosper, but should still allow the event to remain inclusive.
