As much as the headlines like to focus on 3D printing, robots, and new manufacturing companies, there’s actually a more important trend happening in the maker movement: accessibility. Even (and especially) if you don’t consider yourself a maker or tinkerer.
Maker Faire New York featured six presentations stages with over 100 talks offered over the course of the weekend. Here’s a short but juicy glimpse of the stellar lineup, big crowds and backstage moments from our Auditorium and Make: Live stages.
You are sorry if you missed Saturday’s Open MAKE at the Exploratorium, which had the theme of “Tools,” because it was totally fun.
As you may already know, David Lang, our Zero to Maker columnist, is involved in the OpenROV project, an open source camera-equipped R/C submersible, designed to look for water-burired treasure. They’re taking the ROV prototypes up to Hall City Cave in Northern, CA tomorrow for some preliminary dives. How exciting!
