2026 Maker Expo @ the Ignite Institute, hosted by the NKY Makerspace
Create. Inspire. Engage. Imagine. The Maker Expo, hosted by the NKY Makerspace, is a FREE, all-ages celebration of STEAM learning and creativity. Create by exploring the Artisan Market, Expo Café, and hands-on stations throughout the event—or show off your own projects! Inspire through the Performance Expo, featuring music, theater, puppetry, and film from Immanuel School of Music, Cincinnati Shakespeare Company, Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra Ensemble, River City Puppets, and a student Film Fest. Engage with artisans, student creators, and local camps and summer programs, or try interactive tables and activities designed for curious minds.
Above all, Imagination drives the experience—sparking ideas, curiosity, and wonder in every visitor. With indoor and Outdoor Expo areas full of activities and food trucks, the Maker Expo invites everyone, from kindergarteners to adults, to explore the possibilities of STEAM, connect with creative minds, and leave inspired to imagine and create.
