UPDATE: The CALL to Join the Street Team is currently extended until September 7th!
Our amazing Maker Faire team has been hard at work on the upcoming World Maker Faire in NYC and they just sent me this memo with details on how to become part of the Street Team. Whether you’re attending an event or passing by a shop in your neighborhood, please help spread the good word in and around the five boroughs of New York City and earn some tickets to the faire!
Post flyers and place postcards in your local community and earn two Adult World Maker Faire Day passes worth $60.
It’s easy! We will send you 25 flyers, 75 postcards, stickers and buttons. Throw them in your car, purse, backpack, or bicycle basket and take them with you to all the places you already go (and maybe a few more). Pin or tape them to the bulletin board, window, or even leave them in a small stack on the counter or table where other items may be on display (please ask permission first). While you are posting, don’t forget to snap a few pictures so we can see all the great work you have done!
When you’re finished, send us an e-mail along with three or more pictures by September 18th and we will send you two Adult day tickets to World Maker Faire. You won’t have to wait in line for your tickets, you’ll save a little cash, and you will have helped us spread the word about this great event within your community.
Here are some great locations/examples of places to post flyers and place postcards:
Bookstores, Cafes & Coffee Shops, Toy Stores, Hobby Shops, Boutique Shops, Craft Stores, Restaurants, Community Centers, Hackerspaces, Tech Spaces, After School Programs, Community Gardens, and more.
