What is the Makers' Festival?
With over 30 different professional makers and over 35 different technology demos, workshops and do-it-yourself activities, the Makers' festival is a 3 -part, many tentacled extravaganza of creativity and interactivity.  The festival consists of the Makers' Block (L1 Atrium), Makers' Workshops (Throughout Mall) and the Makers' Marketplace (B2).

From old-school craftsmanship like leather crafting to mind-bloggling technology like virtual reality, there's plenty to set your thinking, get your making, and make you go 'Hmmm...", 'Aha!' and 'Wowww!'. 

It's immersive, interactive, inspirational and FUN for your friends and family!
