What is Maker Fest?

A celebration of curiosity, creativity, and hands-on discovery

Maker Fest brings together people who love to make things: artists, inventors, engineers, educators, students, hobbyists, and curious families. It is a place to share projects, try new skills, see demonstrations, and meet the people behind the ideas.

Imagine robotics and engineering alongside art, crafts, electronics, 3D printing, creative technology, and playful competitions. The goal is to make learning participatory—something visitors can explore, build, and experience for themselves.

Who is FUBAR Labs?

FUBAR Labs is a New Jersey community makerspace and hackerspace where people collaborate on technology, engineering, art, and do-it-yourself projects. Its community is built around sharing knowledge, tools, and hands-on experimentation.

FUBAR Labs has helped organize Maker Faire events, bringing together makers, educators, volunteers, and the public to celebrate creativity and invention.

Why is FUBAR Labs supporting Maker Fest?

Maker Fest reflects the same spirit that drives FUBAR Labs: learning by doing, encouraging experimentation, and making creative and technical skills more accessible. Helping organize a festival gives makers a way to share their work and gives families, students, and educators a welcoming place to discover what is possible.

For the proposed Middlesex County Maker Fest, FUBAR Labs brings maker-community experience and event-organizing know-how. The effort is intended to grow through collaboration with local educators, community organizations, makers, volunteers, and sponsors.

What is Maker Quest?

Maker Quest is an interactive companion concept for the proposed festival. Its games, sample event map, digital passport, and video showcase help illustrate how visitors might discover activities and engage with exhibitors.

This website is a proposal and demonstration. A Middlesex County venue, dates, programming, and participating organizations are not presented as confirmed.
