Conor Landenberger will be spending most of Saturday building a bamboo bike in the TechShop Pavilion. Stop by and say hello if you’re in the Expo Hall!

That’s not including the CNC machines or the stock of three dozen or so Replicator, Up! printers, and Printrbots for […]
Mark Arnon Rosen and Wendy Marvel create these incredible mechanical flip books inspired by split-flap displays. The one above is called Leapfrog. Mark and Wendy will be stopping by the fishbowl to talk about their work later this afternoon. Tune in here.
