Westport Au Pairs from Columbia, the Netherlands, Germany, Canada, South Africa and France helped children make origami animal puppets, color global place mats, and challenged older children to match country and capitals and find country word searches in the third annual Westport Mini Maker Faire, held Saturday April 26, 2014 at the Westport Library and adjacent Jessup Green.  Four thousand interested inventors, tinkerers, artists, crafters, scientists and others came together for the great technology, innovative craft family event.  Robots, electric skateboards, 3 D printers, drones, helicopters, synthesizers,  and more were present for the hands-on workshops and demonstrations for and by children.  The Westport Mini Maker Faire is a joint venture of the Westport Library and Remarkable STEAM, a local organization that promotes science, technology, engineering, art and mathematics.
