pOur excitement for a href=”http://makerfaire.com/newyork/2010/”Maker Faire’s New York/a debut this weekend was high before the science/craft/engineering/technology celebration even began, but now that we’ve experienced it, we’re even more stoked. The spectacle opened today at the a href=”http://www.nysci.org/”New York Hall of Science/a in Queens with tons of events, sideshows, demonstrations, lectures, and stuff galore to ogle and play with. Highlights included a href=”http://www.arcattack.com/”ArcAttack’s/a performance with giant Tesla coils melding lighting and music, a Life-size Mouse Trap, a tent of home-made 3d rapid prototypers, and a huge shop selling everything from robot kits to books on cooking for geeks. Another great aspect is getting to see and talk with a bunch of amazing home-tinkerers about what they created. Most everything is kid-appropriate, but there are also lots of awesome kid-specific activities and demonstrations. The fun continues on Sunday from 10 am to 7 pm.
