Get ready for the invasion of makers, New Yorkers!
Maker Faire has been a Bay Area phenomenon since 2006 and has been growing ever since. This year the New York Hall of Science in Queens will be hosting The World Maker Faire on September 25th and 26th. Founded at the 1964 Worlds Fair, the New York Hall of Science is a hands-on learning center for families and it's a perfect choice to host the World Maker Faire in New York.
Whether you're into urban farming, model rocketry, experimental music, electronics, bicycling, arts and crafts,fashion or looking to learn more about the maker culture, this will be the weekend to do it. The list of exhibits is a who's who of awesome, including a Rubik's Cube-Solving Robot, a Life-Size Mouse Trap and Arc Attack . Plus a bevy of crafters, makers , hackers, artisans and all around interesting people. With over 300 exhibitors and hands on activities for kids and adults, there's bound to be something to grab your interest.
I for one have been counting down the days to this event. GeekDad and GeekMom writers will be there and so should you! Tickets can be purchased at the official website.
