Makers at work across a Kochi shoreA maker faire in progress, left to right: a weaving loom with a shuttle crossing it under the first canopy; a stand demonstrating a 3D printer; a shelf of finished pots on the next stand; a tall tower of meshing gears with someone up a ladder beside it; an easel holding a painting in progress; a six-axis robot arm; a wind turbine at the right edge; and one drone overhead. Thirteen makers and visitors are gathered at the stands, one with their back to us and one using a wheelchair.

Every kind of maker.
Every kind of making.

The Greatest Show (& Tell) on Earth comes to Kerala for the very first time.

What is Maker Faire?

Maker Faire is the Greatest Show (and Tell) on Earth—a family-friendly festival of invention, creativity, and resourcefulness.

A gathering of curious people who like learning and love showing what they can do — engineers and embroiderers, science clubs and cooks, hobbyists and hard-headed tinkerers.

We call it a celebration of the Maker Movement: a place where hands-on learning meets whatever comes next, and where anyone can find out what it feels like to make a thing from scratch.

  • Exhibit your project

    Whether you built a giant metal dragon, a smart IoT farm system, or beautiful upcycled art — we want you to show it.

  • Learn and connect

    Meet developers, hardware designers, crafters and educators. Share knowledge, tools and ideas.

Why Kochi?

Kochi is the innovation and hardware prototyping capital of Kerala — a thriving ecosystem of incubators, fablabs, maker spaces and design studios. It is also a city that has repaired, adapted and re-rigged borrowed technology for six hundred years. Both of those are the same instinct.

There is no domain for makers.

Everyone is a maker. The aunt who alters every hand-me-down until it fits. The uncle who has repaired the same mixer four times rather than replace it. The neighbour whose kite actually flies. None of them call it making — it is.

This is not a technology fair. Solder is welcome; so are dough, thread, clay, coir and wood. If you made it, you can show it.

  • Robotics & AI
  • Textiles & Weaving
  • Electronics & IoT
  • Cooking & Fermenting

So bring the thing that doesn't fit.

Tell us what you made, how you made it, and what broke on the way.
