The Longarm Trebuchet Team AND The Throwdown Robotics Team are hoping you can take 5 minutes and sign an online petition to ask the Leaders of the City of Rocklin to bring back the Rocklin Mini Maker Fair.
For those of you all that know – the City and Sierra College won the rights to host the Fair back in 2015- but Covid forced them to shut the fair down a few years back.
The Fair was a great venue to share STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics academic disciplines) with kids.
It was where the kids at Longarm got their start – and without that venue the middle and high school kids that ran trebuchets in front of thousands of folks- and were featured on TV- would never have had those experiences. Article About the Rocklin Mini Maker Faire

What is Maker Faire?
Maker Faire is a gathering of fascinating, curious people who enjoy learning and who love sharing what they can do. From engineers to artists to scientists to crafters, Maker Faire is a venue for these “makers” to show hobbies, experiments, projects.
We call it the Greatest Show (& Tell) on Earth – a family-friendly showcase of invention, creativity, and resourcefulness.
Glimpse the future and get inspired!
Maker Faire originated in 2006 in the San Francisco Bay Area as a project of the editors of Make: magazine. It has since grown into a significant worldwide network of both flagship and independently-produced events. Read more on Maker Faire history, the Maker Movement, as well as how to start a Maker Faire or a School Maker Faire where you live.

Featuring both established and emerging local “makers,” the Rocklin Mini Maker Faire is a family-friendly celebration featuring rockets and robots, digital fabrication, DIY science and technology, urban farming and sustainability, alternative energy, bicycles, unique hand-made crafts, music and local food, and educational workshops and installations. The Rocklin Mini Maker Faire follows the “big” Maker Faire model of celebrating invention, creativity, and resourcefulness, but is smaller in scale and will showcase the wonders of Placer and Sacramento counties and beyond!
