Maker Faire 2017 takes place from September 23-24 2017 in Queens, at the New York Hall of Science
Just like last year, I’ve joined the “Street Team.”
Once again I’m all over NYC to invite people to Maker Faire. For most people I meet, it’s still the first time they’ve heard of makers, Maker Faire, or the idea that this is now part of our culture as a “thing”
