Macadamian and Design 1st, two local product design and development firms are partnering with local high school and university educators to show young makers just how easy it is to take an idea, create it and take it to market.
“Design 1st and Macadamian are passionate about opening up opportunities for young people to learn how art and technology can come together to develop innovative new products. We want to inspire young makers and let them know that there is a large community of support to help them be successful.” Kevin Bailey, CEO Design 1st.
The Ottawa Mini Maker Faire brings together individuals who celebrate the fusion of art and science, and embrace a DIY spirit.
