The Maker Faire highlighted the physical makerspaces, labs, and studios found in the engaging Woodside Building for Technology and Design, collaborative Monash Makerspace, and entrepreneurial Monash Generator.
The Victorian community responded with over 300 artisans, developers, hackers, inventors, and tinkerers of all descriptions converging to share their passions with attendees of all ages.
We thank our sponsors, promoters and volunteers for supporting the diverse and active community of makers across the Monash Precinct and Greater Melbourne.
