Safety Briefing

Before we start building, we’ll have a quick safety briefing to cover essential guidelines. We’ll go over proper tool handling, the importance of wearing safety gear at all times, and how to ensure a safe workspace. Remember, safety comes first for both you and the tools you’re working with!

Build Session Begins

After the safety briefing, it's time to get hands-on and start building! Head over to the build stations where your materials and instructions are ready for you. Each build has its own step-by-step guide, so follow along at your own pace. Don’t worry if you’re unsure about something—our instructors will be available throughout the festival to offer guidance and help whenever needed. As you build, feel free to take breaks to enjoy the variety of games, grab some food, or chat with fellow DIY enthusiasts. Make sure to also explore the vendor booths showcasing tools, art, and more. And don't forget to take your lunch break when you're ready! This is your day to create, connect, and have fun.

17:00 - 17:30

Group Photo and Awards Ceremony

Gather 'round as we pause for a memorable moment to capture the spirit of the festival! At 5 PM, we’ll take a group photo to commemorate the day and celebrate our community of DIY enthusiasts. This tradition began at our bi-weekly workshops, and we can’t wait to carry it over to our festival. During this time, we’ll also announce the winners for the Best Build Awards, recognizing the top three projects of the day. These winners will receive special prizes and bragging rights for their incredible craftsmanship! Don’t miss this chance to smile, cheer, and celebrate the creativity and hard work of all our attendees.
