MAKE hit the World Science Festival in NYC today, packed with tons of people - the event took over Washington Square park and parts of NYU. For the kids there were lots of hands on exhibits and for adults (and kids) lots of sessions/events/talks - it was so popular the ticketed events were sold out or standing room only - events like this and our own Maker Faire seem to indicated there is more demand than supply for science and that.. is a good thing! Great event, hope to see it happen each year in NYC! - more photos here & check out their site for additional day/evening events on Sunday.
