The Maker Faire Barcelona is an event that aims to bring together Barcelona’s creative and innovation communities, and understand them as part of an ecosystem that holds the potential to transform how we will live, work and play in our cities, through the democratisation of technology. Barcelona Maker Faire hosted the most inspired, talented and ambitious makers, enthusiastic to share all their knowledge and creativity through exhibitions, workshops, and interactive demos.
With the participation of leading international experts that presented and discussed the latest results and contributions in education, society, and economics, Barcelona Maker Faire wanted to contribute promoting imagination, creativity, innovation and learning of new skills and ideas.
Maker Faire originated in 2006 in the San Francisco Bay Area as a project of the editors of Make: magazine. It has since grown into a significant worldwide network of both flagship and independently-produced events.
