(Salt Lake City, UT) On Saturday, October 6, mutant vehicles, robots, kinetic art and their makers will descend on downtown Salt Lake City for a one-day festival of creating, learning, inventing, crafting, recycling, hacking, building, playing, recreating, tinkering and connecting. The Salt Lake City Mini Maker Faire takes place on Saturday, October 6th from noon to 10 p.m. at Library Square, The Leonardo museum, and The City Library.

Over 120 makers, artists, engineers, tinkerers, scientists, clubs, hobbyists, builders, teachers, craftspeople, technologists, designers and DIY enthusiasts will share their passion for making with curious kids and adults at the festival.

This family-friendly event features hands-on workshops, demonstrations, and maker conversations in a fun environment. Attendees can participate in activities such as learn to solder, print in 3D, program a robot, pick a lock, and build a mini-hexayurt.
