This weekend, from Nov. 6-8, Barnes & Noble – in partnership with Make Magazine – will be hosting its first-ever Mini Maker Faire, a community-based learning event that will inspire everyone to become a “Maker” and connect with people and projects in their local community.

These events are for people of all ages and backgrounds who have a desire to create, learn and share, and who bring a do-it-yourself mindset to technology.

The Mini Maker Faire will feature hands-on learning and making opportunities in the areas of ideation, creative thinking, art, design, construction and innovation, as well as programming, coding and 3D printing, with activities for children ages five and up to adults.

The Mini Maker Faire will consist of three main areas:

The Make Workspace, where customers will experience the latest technologies in 3D printing, robotics, coding, programming and more;

Meet the Makers, the place in store where customers will hear from leaders, top brands and local makers about the latest trends in designing, building creating and making;

Make and Collaborate, where customers can immerse themselves in the process of ideation, rapid prototyping, circuitry and more.

Local presenters at the Warwick Barnes & Noble include Cranston Public Library, Warwick Vets High School, Rocky Hill School, and the Jewish Community Day School, among others. Also featured at the store will be Brian Jepson, editor of Make Magazine, and Anna Kaziunas France of Make Books.

The events begin at 3 p.m. Friday afternoon and run all weekend, with workshops and presentations running throughout each day.
