Maker Faire at the White House

Pres­i­dent Oba­ma host­ed the first-ever White House Mak­er Faire and issued a call to action that “every com­pa­ny, every col­lege, every com­mu­ni­ty, every cit­i­zen joins us as we lift up mak­ers and builders and doers across the coun­try.” By democ­ra­tiz­ing the tools and skills nec­es­sary to design and make just about any­thing, Mak­er-relat­ed events and activ­i­ties can inspire more peo­ple to pur­sue careers in design, advanced man­u­fac­tur­ing, and the relat­ed fields of sci­ence, tech­nol­o­gy, engi­neer­ing, and math­e­mat­ics (STEM) and pos­si­bly take their cre­ations to the next lev­el and become entrepreneurs.

Who are we looking for?

At Mak­er Faire Dubai, we are always look­ing for peo­ple who can show us the future that lies just around the cor­ner, some­thing we need today more than ever.
