Conveniently located in Downtown Tampa, GCM is an integral part of the cultural corridor of museums, libraries, theaters, and performing arts centers. The 53,000 square foot facility also offers 5,000 square feet of event space, 2,500 square feet of classroom space, and a 1,000 square foot rooftop terrace overlooking the picturesque Riverwalk along the Hillsborough River and Curtis Hixon Park.

The Glazer Children’s Museum provides Tampa Bay with a combination of permanent and traveling exhibits, daily educational programs, and seasonal special events all professionally curated to help little learners from birth to 10 years old to play with purpose.

What is the Maker Movement?The Maker Movement is driven by a global community that is fueling a new industrial revolution, harnessing technology and other resources to change how we live, work and learn. Maker Faires around the world (New York, Rome, Paris, Taipei, Shenzhen, Cairo, Vienna and more than 100 other locations) serve as platforms for new ideas and products, showcases for makers from a broad range of fields, and hubs for information and dialogue about how the movement is influencing education, manufacturing and more.

About Maker Faires

Making is Growing our EconomyThe National League of Cities 2016 report, “How Cities Can Grow the Maker Movement” underscores the economic impact of makers as job creators and conduits for economic growth. So far, only a small number of cities are engaging in the Maker Movement. We are excited to make Tampa one of them.

Making is Drawing Students into Critical STEAM Fields The Maker Movement is motivating and inspiring children at all grade levels to explore science, technology, engineering, art and math subjects through projects and experiences, and exposing students to design thinking, problem solving and creative work that will be key to the jobs of the future. School districts (and libraries) throughout the United States are introducing makerspaces. Additionally, some colleges and universities now invite prospective students to submit a Maker Portfolio as part of the application process, along with their GPA and ACT scores.
