Featured concept: 2026 Shenzhen Maker Faire · Makers Challenge
Proposed for December 12–13, 2026 · Nanshan, Shenzhen. The Maker Faire event dates are official; our Makers Challenge is an independent proposal seeking organizer approval and partners.
Join a proposed two-day hardware scavenger hunt: teams visit participating exhibitor booths, politely request one available item or access to tools, log it in a Maker Passport, and remix parts from different makers into a real live demonstration. Participation is optional for booths.
| BEG | BUILD | SHOW |
|---|---|---|
| Source donated parts, approved device loans and advice | Combine, solder, print, code and test | Live demo + maker credits + awards |
