Join us for a celebration of creativity and innovation at the intersection of Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, and Math (STEAM). With over 100 makers and more than 2000 participants of all ages, attendees will have the opportunity to explore innovative robotics, interactive art, and much more through hands-on exhibits and performances at the Long Island Explorium, Village Center, and Harborfront Park.

Maker Faire Long Island is a fusion of a classic science fair with a new twist, incorporating elements of innovation, creativity, and engineering. Dubbed the "Greatest Show & Tell on Earth," this event has been a beacon of ingenuity since 2015, attracting over 100 makers and 2000 visitors each year from the New York Tri-State area and beyond.
