It said that it is proud to support Maker Faire Cairo, which celebrated its tenth anniversary this year. The event was held at the Greek Campus in downtown Cairo and showcased the creativity and innovation of Egyptian makers from various fields.
Since its launch in 2015, Maker Faire Cairo has grown
to become one of the most prominent Do It Yourself (DIY) festivals in the
Middle East and North Africa, attracting thousands of participants annually. This
event is organized by San3a Tech in cooperation with the American Center in
Cairo (ACC), to form an inspiring platform that brings together innovators,
artists, engineers, and creators from various backgrounds to showcase their
innovations, inspire others, and motivate them to create.
“The makers, artists, and engineers participating in
this year’s Maker Faire embody the spirit of true creativity,” said Gina
Cabrera, Spokesperson for the U.S. Embassy in Cairo. “By working together and
sharing ideas, we can build a stronger, safer, and more prosperous future for
both the United States and Egypt.”
This year, the exhibition included more than 50
workshops, 8 live performances, and 15 exhibitions, in addition to a knowledge
center that hosted dialogue sessions and applied educational experiences,
covering a variety of topics from robotics to woodworking and others.
This year’s edition welcomed more than 2,000 makers and
innovators from Egypt and around the world. The 10th anniversary celebration of
the Cairo fair reflects the remarkable growth of this vibrant and inspiring
community.
The Maker Faire series began at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) in 2003 and quickly evolved into a global movement that encourages individuals to think creatively and turn ideas into reality.
