So Many Ways to get Started Making

Screen Shot 2013-09-18 at 11.32.55 AMMake: Books is known for putting out best-in-category how-to guides like “Getting Started with Arduino” and “Getting Started with Raspberry Pi.” These books are known for their clarity, practical approach, brevity, and good humor.

Now at World Maker Faire New York, these books come to life on our Make: Electronics, Maker Shed, and (new this year!) Make: 3D Printing stages.

“Getting Started” presentations are designed and written by MAKE editors to help demystify the primary maker tech platforms. We program them multiple times a day, both Saturday and Sunday, so that fair-goers have as many chances as possible to get great beginner tutorials.

Here’s our MAKE-powered Getting Started lineup for World Maker Faire New York 2013:
