Makers Fair
Live course taught by Cate Godlewsky for Summer 2026 Middle School, Grade School Life Skills
Catalog message
A free makers fair for students in 3rd - 8th grade. Join us to get feedback on your creative projects and maybe win a prize!
Summary

What is a Makers Fair? We're glad you asked! It is an event where you can showcase the interesting things you like to make. Think of it as a talent show, but for art, engineering, carpentry, crafting, and so much more!

The Homeschool Connections Virtual Makers' Fair gives students in grades 3–8 a welcoming place to share the projects they have built, designed, experimented with, or created during the 25/26 school year. This event is open to any homeschooled student, whether or not they are enrolled with HSC. 

This fair showcases the curiosity, creativity, problem-solving, and confidence of homeschooled students, and gives them a chance to connect with their peers through positive feedback in a Catholic environment. 

Students will submit a pre-recorded video presentation showcasing what they made. This presentation will then be shown during our live Zoom event, when the student will receive feedback from the judges and peers.

Join us for an exciting, friendly competition that celebrates our ability to imitate God, the Divine Artisan! 

To get more information or submit your project, sign up for this FREE Caravel course and get access to the submission form. (If you do not already have a Caravel account, you will be prompted to set one up.)

Special notes

This fair is FREE and open to any homeschooled student, even if you don't take HSC classes.

Students will submit a pre-recorded video presentation showcasing what they made. This presentation will then be shown during our live Zoom event, when the student will receive feedback from the judges and peers.
