MAKER FAIRE
HANNOVER RETURNS
After a two-year hiatus because of Covid, Maker Faire returned in September to the Hannover Congress
Centrum in northwestern Germany. For me this was the first Maker Faire outside the U.S. that I’ve
attended since Covid began. Being back in-person, elbow to elbow, is just better for meeting makers
and seeing what they do. Around 12,500 people attended Maker Faire Hannover, which included R2-D2s
and cosplayers, robots of all kinds, and assorted families. —Dale Dougherty

He wants kids to get a feel for what making is.
In the Dark Gallery, Pixels by Jonas Vorwerk of the
Netherlands were stackable blocks that changed
color based on interaction.
The mythical bird Garuda, by Matthias Vijvermann
of Belgium, was a popular attraction outside.
Inspired by Lego Jeep, the Lego Volvo was fun for kids
of all ages (an old Heise company car put to good use).
This kinetic sculpture by Volker Wessendorf used a
bicycle to power a fan that generated enough wind
to lift this red face and bring it to life.
