Maker Faire is all about getting your hands dirty and we encourage you to provide some hands-on activities for attendees. But with that, there are always safety concerns, so please know:
We will have safety waivers for people participating in various activities like the hands-on workshops; final details to follow.
We will have people trained in first aid available throughout the event. Please notify us if you have an injury at your booth so we can follow up with the attendee.
Safety precautions protect all of us and enable us to keep hosting Maker Faire. Just be smart and have a plan to respond. Thank you!
