Here is a nice opportunity to see Science and Technology in the City in action, especially for those who are into being creative and inventive. It is the Maker Faire, which is the showcase of the Maker/DIY movement, which is becoming a common way that people engage in science and technology endeavors outside of school. We will discuss this in class later in the semester. Below are two ways of participating: one link is if you want to be an attendee and the other is if you have time and want to volunteer.

This is an option for observing and visiting science place and spaces (it is in conjunction with the New York Hall of Science). If you decide to go, you could include it in your informal science site visits blog. If you want to purchase tickets, let me know and I will see if they could be purchased through Macaulay. I make no promises, but will try.
