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.
