Maker Week: Maker Faire Competition

Show off your prototype project in a Maker Faire competition! Compete for a chance to win prizes such as a 3D printer and AutoCAD book!

This is it, the grand finale!

Throughout Maker Week, each workshop will give you a prompt and an artifact that contributes to your final project.

At the Maker Faire Competition, you'll present your completed prototype science-fair style, alongside the artifacts you built and collected along the way. Judging criteria will be shared at every workshop so you always know what to work toward.

Prizes:

🥇 First Place — Bambu A1 Mini 3D Printer

🥈 Second Place — Mastering AutoCAD Book

🥉 Third Place — Blueprinting Book & Multitool Pen

All participants receive printing credit redeemable at the UCR Library Creat'R Lab, and every project has a chance to be featured in a future library exhibit.
