In  2018, Foundation for Community Driven Innovation joined forces with  St. Petersburg College-Seminole Campus and the Innovation Lab at SPC-Seminole, to co-host Gulf Coast Maker& Comic Con,  bringing together the best of two great events – Gulf Coast MakerCon & Pinellas Comic & Maker Con – into one huge showcase celebration of DIY Inventive and Artistic Spirit!  

The development of AMRoC Fab Lab, and then the advent of COVID-19, forced a couple year hiatus, but we plan to be back in 2022 with a full scale Gulf Coast MakerCon event in Uptown Tampa, where AMRoC Fab Lab is based.

As always, Gulf Coast MakerCon will provide a platform for everyone to join together to share resources, learn a craft, hone their skills, find career and academic opportunities, try new tools and innovations, and much more.
