MakeLab Area – Let’s Create Together

“MakeLab – Let’s Create Together” is the Maker Faire Rome area dedicated to hands-on workshops: a place where people learn by doing, testing, building and trying things for themselves.

Visitors must register in advance to take part.
Each workshop is designed around practical activities and the principle of learning by doing.

Participants are not there simply to watch. They are invited to experiment, complete tasks, develop practical skills and leave with a clearer understanding of the ideas, tools or technologies explored during the session.

At Maker Faire Rome, innovation is not only something to observe. It is something to make, test and share.

Propose Your Workshop for MakeLab at Maker Faire Rome

Bring your workshop to one of Maker Faire Rome’s most hands-on and interactive areas.

Are you a maker, researcher, university, research institute or organisation with a hands-on activity to share? Submit your proposal for MakeLab and help visitors learn through direct experience.

In MakeLab, the audience doesn’t simply watch a demonstration. Participants experiment, build and learn alongside you.

Your workshop proposal could become part of the next edition of Maker Faire Rome.

We are looking for workshops that are:

  • Built around learning by doing, where hands-on experience helps people understand ideas, tools and technologies
  • Engaging and accessible, with an informal approach to science, technology and creativity
    Focused on practical skills, helping participants learn something they can use, apply or develop further
  • Open to a wide audience, including students, makers, technicians, professionals, families and anyone curious to learn by making
