AFRL Maker Fest is meant to spur do-it-yourself interest in science, technology, engineering and math, said Lester McFawn, director of Wright Brothers Institute.
The fest will have about 40 different demonstrations, from kite making to electronics to 3-D printing and a roaming robot, organizers said.
“It’s basically about getting people building things and learning how to do those things,” said Robert Lee, Wright Brothers Institute open innovation project manager.
Presenters will also stage talks on technical topics and projects, he said.
All of the events are at the institute at 5000 Springfield St., Suite 100 in Riverside. More than 240 people have registered and all ages are welcome at the free event, officials said.
