Participants in this year's Denver Mini Maker Faire will find over 100 Makers with hands-on demos, exhibits and activities featuring electronics, arts, music, new technology and the crazy things that are made when these things come together. From Monkey Hunter Physics and a Drone Obstacle course to a Synthesizer Petting Zoo, there is something for everyone, say the event’s producers.  
  
“Our mission is to advance the Maker Movement in Colorado where we have a vibrant community of tinkerers, tech enthusiasts, artists, inventors, educators, youth makers, hobbyists, science clubs, students and entrepreneurs,” said CO Maker Hub Founder, Elizabeth VanDyne. “By producing the Denver Mini Maker Faire we are creating a place where makers can showcase their ingenuity while also inspiring the attendees to go home and start tinkering!”
