TN Maker Fest

10/01/2026

What an incredible day of tinkering, creating, and connecting! A massive thank you to everyone who made this past Saturday’s TN Maker Fest unforgettable.

Putting together an event like this takes a village, and we are overflowing with gratitude for ours:

* Our Exhibitors: For sharing your craft, sparking curiosity, and showing us what’s possible with creativity and grit.
* Our Volunteers & Vanderbilt Staff: For working tirelessly behind the scenes to keep our space safe, spotless, and buzzing with positive energy all day long.
* Our Attendees: For bringing your boundless enthusiasm, asking great questions, and reminding us why hands-on learning matters so much.

Without your support, energy, and shared love of making, this festival simply wouldn’t exist.

TN Maker Fest is truly powered by this community. Thank you for making it magical—keep making, and we’ll see you next year! 🛠️✨
