Great Start! Dortmund Mini Maker Faire 2014

Dortmund Mini Maker Faire celebrated a swirling festival of ideas and creativity at Science Night Ruhr! Makers from all over Germany joined with interactive exhibits, workshops and presentations ranging from urban gardening to 3D-robotics, from “Bibberbeast”-Workshops to charming “Wastelanders” travelling around the Dortmund “U”. Futuristic-victorian Steam Punk objects stood right next to 3-dimensional modern design sculptures. Thanks to all who participated in this wonderful start of a new format!
