Please think about ways to design your space to be educational, interactive, and fun. If you have any questions about your exhibit or changes to it, please reference the Maker Toolkit.
3. Keep an eye out for upcoming Maker Newsletters.
In the coming weeks, we will email Maker Newsletters with important information to guide you along. Prior to arriving onsite, we expect that you have read the Maker Toolkit, that you will abide by the rules and regulations, and that we have agreed on the specifics of your exhibit as detailed in the Confirmation Letter sent before the event.

If your exhibit requires Safety Team or Fire Marshal approval (you know who you are), please submit your Safety Plan by April 13. The Safety Plan forms are located in the Maker Toolkit. If you received this letter after April 13, please submit your plan asap. Help us produce a fun and safe environment for all.
