The Maker Faire brings together a broad range of participants from Union College, Schenectady and the Capital District, including faculty and students, local makers, small businesses, high school STEAM programs, First Robotics, local Maker Spaces and many others to promote making, hands-on learning, STEAM education and community connection.
