Waukesha Makerspace is Headed to Milwaukee Maker Faire – Help Us Build Something Awesome!

Wed, August 06, 2025 5:35 PM | Casey Kerr (Administrator)

We’re excited to announce that Waukesha Makerspace will be exhibiting at Milwaukee Maker Faire on November 8–9, 2025, with setup taking place on Friday, November 7th. Our team is already hard at work planning an engaging booth packed with demos, hands-on activities, and member-made creations—but we need your help to make it all happen!

What We're Planning:

At our first committee meeting, we started laying the groundwork for an amazing presence at the Faire. Some of the highlights include:

  • Live demos of tools like our laser cutter and 3D printers

  • Interactive projects like an LED pong game, Plinko board, and leather stamping

  • Custom-made giveaways in exchange for donations

  • A slideshow of member projects and promotional materials

  • Fundraising opportunities to support the space

  • And yes, someone joked about training a dog to run a 3D printer (we’re only mostly sure that was a joke)

We’re aiming to show off what makes our makerspace special, connect with new folks, and inspire future makers. Whether you're a longtime member or brand new to the community, this is a great way to get involved.

Want to Help?

We’re looking for volunteers to help with:

  • Setup and teardown

  • Staffing the booth

  • Building project demos

  • Creating signage and materials

  • Spreading the word online and at the Faire

Next Committee Meeting

Our next planning meeting is Sunday, September 7th at 5:00 PM, just before the public monthly meeting.

Location: Waukesha Makerspace
Time: 5:00 PM

If you'd like to help—or even if you're just curious—please join us! No prior experience required, just bring your energy, ideas, and enthusiasm.

Let’s make this our best showing at Maker Faire yet!
