Imagining the World Differently The World Maker Faire in New York City

摘要

The first thing I noticed was the kids, even before I arrived at the first World Maker Faire in New York City on September 25 (it was held on the 25th and 26th). I had taken the train and the subway to reach the Hall of Science in Queens, and as I walked the few blocks from the subway station, I found myself amid several families with young children, all heading in the same direction. Were they all going where I was? They were.rnThe Faire (photo A), which advertised itself with an invitation to "Come see what happens when we imagine the world differently," was as heavily focused on family and family-friendly activities as it was on technology and crafts. However, I'm qettinq ahead of myself.
