“It would have been hard to imagine when we started this journey five years ago that New Jersey Makers Day would impact tens of thousands of residents each year, as they explore unique hands-on learning experiences,” says Doug Baldwin, President of New Jersey Makers Day.

Since its inception in 2015, NJMD has fostered a love of STEM education through hands-on learning, community engagement, and creative problem-solving.

“Watching a 6-year-old boy take apart a lawnmower engine and put it back together using real tools was such a joy to see. Every realization about how things worked, from bolts and a ratchet driver to a spark plug and piston was visible on his face.” –Staff, Flemington Public Library

New Jersey Makers Day is a statewide celebration! In 2019, NJMD had 300 participating locations, over 2,700 individual maker programs, and a total statewide attendance of more than 83,000. New Jersey Makers Day also reached more than 115,000 makers via Facebook and Instagram.
