Makers are always the exciting essentials at CHTF. This year, CHTF will launch the Makers section which promotes the “Startup Weekend” Road Show as well as other events. If you are to become one the makers, just check it out!

The Maker Show which covers smart home, open source hardware, 3D printing, sports, education, and consumer electronics etc. has attracted numbers of makers with their projects from home and abroad this year.

In addition, the Startup Weekend will choose 16-20 projects among many that cover smart hardware, mobile internet, wearable devices, smart home, internet+ etc. to compete for the Maker of CHTF - Academy Award. The winner would also likely get the favor of the investment corporations as well. Last year, SIAT (Shenzhen Institutes of Advanced Technology, Chinese Academy of Sciences) in Hall-5 displayed more than 30 projects of makers which caused a great popularity.
