The Festival kicks off with X-periment!, a Science carnival taking place this weekend at VivoCity. Changemakers from the local science community will be showcasing projects that demonstrate how science and technology is shaping the future.
Also at X-periment! is science educator, Science Bob. He will present a Science show filled with experiments that demonstrate the basic principles of Science. Look out for the Film Canister Rocket, Elephant’s Toothpaste and Liquid Nitrogen Cloud.

A book featuring Maker families in Singapore, Busy Hands, Happy Hearts, will also be launched at the Maker Faire.
