The Maker Faire is a celebration of local maker culture and community. It is a gathering of fascinating, curious people who enjoy learning and who love sharing what they can do. India is yet to host such a celebration on a grand scale as a Maker Faire but is headed for one in 2016. As a precursor to it, Workbench Projects in collaboration with NASSCOM is hosting the first ever “Mini Maker Faire” in India.
The Mini Maker Faire will be held at Taj Vivanta, Yeshwantpur Bangalore on 15th October 2015 and will host a HUGE bevy of makers and tinkerers who will be displaying their inventions, creations and products for everyone and anyone to feast their eyes upon! From science and technology to the arts and culinary, the BMMF is a platform to showcase the innovations which people have made, prototyped or developed as a product. It is a chance to show the world that INDIA is INNOVATING as well.We aim to make the Mini Maker Faire a community-based learning event that inspires anyone and everyone to become a maker, an event which is engaging, active and above all fun!
We have gotten a lot of interesting applications to exhibit at the Bengaluru Mini Maker Faire. Over 200 to be precise! We have selected around 20 to exhibit, 20 projects by school children and the remaining 20 (out of the 50 shortlisted ones) for you guys to decide!
We will be putting the applicants and their exhibit projects through a funnel so that people can vote on which one they would like to see at the Faire. So please lend us a hand and start voting. Remember, whether they can showcase or not depends on you! Last date to vote is on 30th September.

Imagine With Me is a participatory video
Submitted Sep 22, 2015
Outline
Imagine With Me is a participatory video. It’s an explorative and a co-creative story experience.
It makes an attempt to shatter the “cloud” that might be overshadowing one’s imagination and hopes to help (re)discover their creative potential. A cloud that’s a result of a lot of media consumption. Certain media created by certain individuals are highjacking their users’ imagination in an attempt to showcase their imagination and creative potential.
The work aims to give a co-creator’s role to the participant. It gives them the ability and freedom to explore the props (which are created by other participants) in the story with an interface notebook and turning pages. Also, It gives the participant the power to contribute and co create with their imagination to the work.
