Innovate & Electrify!
STEM Wana is proud to announce the inaugural MakerFest, a two-day sustainable technology festival taking place on 12–13 September 2026.
Discover the secrets to big savings and a cleaner future.
MakerFest NZ is a free, future-focused event designed to inspire innovation, creativity, and environmental responsibility through the development and showcasing of renewable energy and electrification projects. Bringing together makers, creators, inventors, educators, students, entrepreneurs, families, and community members from across Aotearoa New Zealand, the festival celebrates hands-on learning and the power of innovation to shape a more sustainable future.
The festival addresses some of today’s most pressing challenges, including reliance on fossil fuels, environmental impacts, limited access to sustainable technologies, insufficient public engagement in climate action, and the growing skills gap in green technologies.
Inspired by the global Makerspace movement, MakerFest NZ aims to empower both youth and adults of all backgrounds to explore their creative potential, develop practical skills, and connect with others passionate about innovation and sustainability.
FREE TO ATTEND
Festival attendees can expect:
- Tech Talks
- Skill-Sharing Workshops
- “Meet the Makers” Experiences
- Sustainable Technology Showcases

MakerFest is currently calling for makers and innovators from all over Aotearoa New Zealand to join us for a weekend that celebrates unique makers, artisans, engineers, tinkers, designers, hobbyists, and entrepreneurs who are passionate about creating, innovating, and inspiring the next generation.
If you have a passion for making and a desire to share your knowledge, we want to hear from you!
