Dive into the schedule and plan your weekend of making
Welcome! The countdown is on, and the 2025 Maker Faire Bay Area is officially Packed with Programming, Projects, and Play. This isn't just an event—it's an adventure. Whether you’re here to listen, learn, get lost in a luminous dreamscape, or simply play with the impossible, here is a bit of a deep dive in what is to come.
Programming
Stage programming that is! Although there is the other type of programming too. Ever wondered what you can make with FUNGI? How to find the perfect LEGO brick for your epic spaceship? Or how to hack your fashion, prototype a robot, or break into the film industry? We've got you covered. From space and drones to AI, muppets, and music, the Make: Live Stage is your front-row seat to the future of making. In addition the to the Make: Live stage the Foundry Stage will activate with performers and headliners.
Speaker Highlights
Steve Wozniak, legendary co-founder of Apple Computer, on how making shaped his success
Kayte Sabicer, expert model maker of Tested and Tippett Studio
Science Bob of CrunchLabs, educator and frequent guest on Jimmy Kimmel Live!
Scotty Allen, host and science explorer on the Strange Parts YouTube Channel
Rachel Linzer, Co-Founder & Co-Director of Science at Open Fung
Join founder Dale Dougherty for an exclusive preview of some of the amazing makers participating in Maker Faire Bay Area 2025 on Wednesday, September 17th, at 4 PM PT! From AI-powered games and battling robots to glowing coral reefs, inflatable dragons, and even a rolling pipe organ you can play. You’ll hear from ocean explorers, engineers, builders, and artists who transform steel, resin, and LEDs.
Project Highlight
Be among the first in the Bay Area to experience the legendary Luminarium. Located near our entrance, this large-scale inflatable maze is your portal to a world of vibrant, calming light. Leave the everyday behind and step into an architectural wonder designed to spark joy and inspiration.
Creator Alan Parkinson designed this immersive environment to rekindle your sense of wonder through the simple, powerful beauty of light and color. It’s the perfect way to begin your Maker Faire adventure—a personally transformative experience that will stay with you long after you leave.
A few Maker Faire Debuts

What's the best way to "waste time" at Maker Faire? Our Make: editors have made it their mission to find out. They've started a running list of the most delightfully unproductive finds across the grounds. Think non-linear puzzles, team-building exercises, and vintage video games powered by alternative controllers. It's far more than we can list, but here's a taste of the standout experiences waiting for you. But also make sure you go meet them and check out projects from the official magazine of Maker Faire up close in person at the Make: booth at Maker Faire Bay Area.
Family Highlights
