Photo Highlights from the 2016 World Maker Faire in NYC
World Maker Faire took place on Oct. 1-2 at the New York Hall of Science. We were lucky enough to have to opportunity to organize some amazing presentations at the Education Forum and Education Stage. We hope that you were able to make it! We’ve compiled some of our best photo highlights for those who weren’t able to be there.
