World Maker Faire 2013: Just Like Dayton, Only Different

摘要

The flea market at the Dayton Hamvention® is roughly the same size as the outdoor exhibit area for the World Maker Faire at New York's Hall of Science (photo A). And to be fair, there is more indoor exhibit space (photo B)-much more-at Dayton. But you won't find giant butterfly bikes (photo C) at Dayton. Or fire-breathing dragons. Or kids by the thousands. Or a "Learn to Solder" tent (photo D) with a perpetual line outside of at least two dozen people. OK, we can live without the butterfly bikes and dragons (even though kids love 'em). But I'm willing to bet that a "Learn to Solder" tent in the Dayton flea market would draw a steady stream of newer hams who are perhaps a little embarrassed to admit among their friends at home that soldering is new to them. Maybe RadioShack would sponsor that one, too!
