Remember show and tell from elementary school? The Baton Rouge Mini Maker Faire is kind of like that, only bigger.
Event organizers call it a “gathering of fascinating, curious people who enjoy learning and love sharing what they can do.” This show and tell features engineers, artists, scientists and craftsmen who will be showcasing hobbies, experiments and projects.
The family-friendly event features more than 60 maker exhibits and interactive displays. Some of the featured exhibits include an amateur radio demonstration, planting your own bulbs, making a virtual reality headset from scratch and a special-effects makeup demonstration.
