What’s it about?

The aim of Maker Weekend is to encourage the spread of Maker Culture, a phenomenon known mainly in the U.S. but slowly making its way over to Poland. “Makers” are not just activists, artists and programmers, but anyone who creates something based on his or her own creativity and wants to share their ideas, passion and positive energy with others.

Maker Weekend is a weekend of workshops and meetings that will not only expand on the topics and ideas discussed during TEDxKraków, but allow you to also try to spread new ideas while picking up new skills.

When will it happen?

26-27 October, or the weekend immediately following TEDxKraków 2013.

Where will it happen?

We want all the workshops to be held in one place, which will be announced shortly.

Who will take part?

We have invited the speakers of this year’s TEDxKraków as well as many local makers.

Here are a few of the confirmed workshops:

· The Hackathon – a workshop for developers
· Tinkering Workshop – DIY workshops for children led by Gever Tulley and the Children’s University
· Rye Bread Workshop – a bread baking workshop led by Trine Hahnemann
· Najedzeni Fest – the second edition of a culinary festival where Krakow restaurants present new and fresh culinary ideas: najedzenifest.blogspot.com
· Film Workshops in Alvernia Studios – A journey into the world of film in one of the most modern film studios in Europe
