Kerala will see its largest congregation of industrious youngsters with an innovative mind at the state level Maker Fest, to be held on November 3, the organisers said
Being organised by Kerala Startup Mission with Motwani Jadeja Foundation to nurture a maker culture in the new generation, the event will feature workshops and lectures besides drone-flying competitions, display of live installations and construction of a POD house that can be packed and transported, a KSUM release said.
It will be hosted by the Amal Jyothi College of Engineering at Koovapally, 40 km away from Kottayam.
Maker Fest has been one of the prestigious events by Ahmedabad-based MJF as an entrepreneur-empowering organisation to bring in makers, mostly youngsters, from across the world to build sustainable products that can bring a social impact.
The event gains particular focus in Kerala, given that the southern state has the largest number of maker spaces in the country, the organisers said.
Among the speakers will be Sherry Lassister, president of the Fab Foundation,a decade-old US non-profit organisation.
The Maker Fest comes amid KSUM's promotion of fab labs as one of the key areas that brings digital fabrication skills to youngsters, as well as startups.
With their 3-D printers, laser cutters, CNC machines and PCB printers, the labs enable working prototype by functioning as small-scale workshops offering digital fabrication.
