Each year, we welcome hobbyists, engineers, artists, science clubs, educators, students and commercial exhibitors of all ages and backgrounds. Dublin Maker’s mission is to entertain and inform the public and the next generation of Ireland’s makers and inventors, while bringing together the amazing Irish Maker community. And we want you to be a part of it.

Dublin Maker is an opportunity to come together with other enthusiastic, like-minded makers to share projects with each other and with the public.

We just want to show how you do, what you do – so in progress, hobbyist projects are both welcome and encouraged!
