Large Meeting Room
Calling all makers! Are you an artist, woodworker, crafter, app designer, tech enthusiast, gardener, or builder? Maker Day at EGVPL is a chance for local makers to show what they make and how they make it. Come and share your skills and enthusiasm and inspire others to make something new!
Makers will be assigned table space in the Large Meeting Room to display their items. No selling is allowed, but you may provide contact information.
Interested in displaying? Apply to be a maker.
Show off your engineering skills in Team Engineering Challenges conducted by our friends from the Golden Corridor MakerSpace. Teams will receive materials and compete to build a structure in a specified amount of time. Prizes awarded to the team with the best structure.
Two challenges will be held. All ages may register. You can sign up individually or as a team. Sign up information coming soon.
Children younger than 13 years old may participate, but a parent or guardian must complete the online application form.
The Golden Corridor MakerSpace (GCMS) is the result of local organizations, business leaders, municipalities (Schaumburg, Elk Grove Village, Hoffman Estates) and individual citizens sharing the goal of providing a space and an associated community that encourages and facilitates the development of “maker” talents. We’re part of the MakerSpace Movement . We would welcome your involvement and will keep you apprised of our progress.
