Call for Proposals: Maker Faire - Newcastle

Maker Faire is a two-day, family-friendly event that celebrates the Do-It-Yourself (DIY) mindset. It's for creative, resourceful people of all ages and backgrounds who like to tinker and love to make things. Maker Faire celebrates things people create themselves -- from James Bond-worthy electronic gizmos to homemade clothes. Inspiration is ubiquitous at the festival and there are surprises around every corner for people of all ages.

Once again, Maker Faire will be heading to North East England as part of the Newcastle ScienceFest – a 10 day festival celebrating creativity and innovation.

DIY makers, progressive techies, old-fashioned and indie crafters, mad scientists, quirky musicians and myriad innovators propose your projects at:

The deadline for submitting proposals is 11 December with selection by 8 January.

Dates: 13 to 14 March 2010 [w] www.makerfaire.com/newcastle/2010
