Akron Makes was held on November 18, 2023. There were 750 people in attendance this year. We had two schools, SCOPE and STEM Middle School, providing demos in the Children's Library. We had around 25 makers this year. Some of the makers this year brought their Skee bowl game, a homemade arcade game, crocheted items, homemade soaps, jewelry, and more. We would like to thank all who attended and the makers who helped to make this a success.

Akron Makes will be held on November 16, 2024. Makers and attendees mark their calendars. Check this page for the call for makers in July 2024.
