So Close We Can Almost Taste It – Maker Faire New York


GonKiRin breathes life into the pre-Maker Faire Friday night air.

Maker Faire New York is doing the final flight checks and getting ready for liftoff! Here are a few images taken around NYC as makers gear up for the heaps of awesome that are going to converge in Queens tomorrow.

Some of the Maker Faire team stopped by a few maker spaces, including Collab, where they visited with engineer Ayah Bdeir, who’ll be at the Faire exhibiting her snap-together magnetic circuit boards. Ayah is also one of the organizers of the Open Source Hardware Summit that took place yesterday at New York Hall of Science.

Mitch Altman received a special Hero Makey Award today during Make: Live. It was a special edition, live from the grounds of Maker Faire NY. If you missed it, check the Make: Live page for the archived show, which will be up soon.

Bonus:
– NY’s Mayor Bloomberg gave Maker Faire a shout out on his weekly Friday radio show, calling it “a great family event going on this weekend and people should attend.” Word.
