Finals and Awards Ceremony in GGHC (5pm at Maker Faire)

We’re excited to be closing in on the final judging and award ceremony for element14’s Great Global Hackerspace Challenge. The finals and ceremony will take place on the Innovation Stage at Maker Faire (5pm). The esteemed judges on the panel are our favorite roller-girl uber-geek goddess Jeri Ellsworth, the Johnny Appleseed of hackerspaces, Mitch Altman, the man with da most case-mod mojo, Ben Heckendorn, tech education powerhouse, Michele Dawson, the mightyOhm hisself, Jeff Keyzer. Oh… and ME!

Here are the three interviews we did last week with the finalists:

May the nerdiest Hackerspace prevail! (Oh, and we’re open to creative bribing, too.)
