Maker Faire Bangkok 2018, which took place over the past weekend, was inspiring for six-year-old Champ, who accidentally dropped by with his parents in the late afternoon. Co-hosted by Chevron Thailand Exploration and Production and the National Science and Technology Development Agency, the fair, now in its third year, was developed from last year's Mini Maker Faire. At the fair, a team of 8th-grade students from Bangkok Christian School won first prize with their invention "Smart Traffic Cone".

The creation of maker spaces and reasonable prices for service and equipment, as well as events and workshops for makers to meet and mingle, such as Maker Faire, have continued to spur growth of the culture.
