We created a map to show where makers who are coming to World Maker Faire in NYC are coming from.

You can also find this map on the Maker Faire site.

Makers might find it useful to locating other makers who live near them. Maker Faire attendees might also want to identify exhibits from makers who live near them.

A few things about the map:

  1. Locations identify maker projects. The title of the project is linked to the maker exhibit entry on the Maker Faire site for more information. The distance to the NY Hall of Science is given for each project.
  2. Note that this map is current for the data we had as of last Saturday. We are missing some of the crafters in the Bust Craftacular area and some presenters. Not all makers provided location data.
  3. Makers are located by zipcode, not by street address.

The map was produced using the website “BatchGeo.”
