World Maker Faire 2015 Attracts Creative Minds

    Oct. 5, 2015
    Here are some highlights from the 2015 Maker Faire.

    Last week, Machine Design attended the World Maker Faire at the New York Hall of Science in Queens. The show reaches out to kids and adults of all ages, inspiring artists and techies alike to get their hands dirty and create something new. Art and crafts make up a big part of the show, along with electronics, textiles, 3D printers, drones, robotics, and much more. Check out a few of our favorite spectacles from the Greatest Show and Tell on Earth. 

    Also, if you missed out on this great show, don't sweat it. The Mini Maker Faire will take place at all Barnes and Noble locations November 6 through 8!
