What is a Pop Up Maker Faire? A Pop-Up Maker Faire is a FREE event for kids and families with hands-on STEM activities.
The Pop-Up Maker Faire is filled with fun, hands-on activities for children ages 3-8. It’s created to get kids interested in science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM)! There will be at least nine different activities to choose from. This event is in partnership with USU Extension 4-H and BioMerieux.
We need your help to run these STEM activities for the community!

About The Pop Up Maker Faire Project:
The Young Makers and Future Innovators Program uses a maker-based approach to engage children ages 3-8 and their families from communities of intergenerational poverty in rich STEM learning experiences. The Pop Up Maker Faires are one of the opportunities, funded through a grant from bioMerieux and designed as replicable, affordable and sustainable over time. Six communities (West Valley City, Layton/Clearfield, Kearns, Taylorsville/Murray, Midvale and Rosepark/Fairpark) have been identified to access this learning, using themed Innovation Stations which focus on the design process and problem solving.
During the first year, six Pop Up Maker Faires provided activities to an estimated 824 participants. The activity themes included: Cardboard Creations, Create Your Code, Electronics and Electricity, Paper Crafts, Science of Sound, Storybook STEM and Edible Engineering. This year eighteen additional Pop Up Maker Faires are being scheduled.
