The Maker movement has been steadily gaining momentum. Thousands of people visit the Maker Faire events all around the world each year. They come to celebrate invention, creativity and curiosity. The Maker Faire events have something for everyone, be it a tinkerer or hobbyist or a kid who is amazed and awed by all the activity around them.

Maker Toys are STEM focused and there is a focus on learning stuff. Make and Learn.

While this is important. Maker Fiesta’s focus is Make and Play & Play and Learn & Learn and Share. Learning happens through Play. This enables better learning and prepares students for tomorrow’s workplace over memorization methods. Sharing their learning develops more confident students.

We create mobile, board and card games that enables the Make, Play, Learn and Share life-cycle.

We have been working on products which will provide a framework where you can get started with existing ideas. So instead of coming up with new ideas in a vacuum, you will be able to build on and extend the games that you already love playing and truly make them your own. Playing the games you create with Family and Friends in a Collaborative and Competitive environment enable you to learn faster and better.

Play improves Cognitive skills, Social behavior and nurtures Creativity. Play and Learn develops creativity, collaboration, digital literacy, critical thinking, and problem solving.

To succeed in Life, you need more than just Academic skills. Learning different skill are a prerequisite for success in tomorrow’s workplace. 21st century learning skills are often called the 4 C’s: critical thinking, creative thinking, communicating, and collaborating but it goes beyond that.

Our goal is to expand Maker philosophy to beyond things to explore creativity in language, music, dance, math, dance, poetry, etc. The imagination of Steve Jobs was not fueled through technology but art subjects like calligraphy, music, etc.

Our Trivia Fiesta app is a board game on the phone (and a real physical board game) that guides social interactions of dance, music, drawing, etc. Social interactions like this make the world go around and is an example of extending the Maker spirit to beyond things.
