Making Connections at Maker Faire Week
Maker Faire Week runs from Thursday, September 24th to Sunday, September 27th and encompasses MakerCon, Make: Education Forum and World Maker Faire New York. http://makerfaire.com/new-york-2015/maker-faire-week/
I have a ton of people to make connections with and things to see over the week and need a place to write it all down to keep it straight. I also have a few small tokens of appreciation for some folks that I don’t want to forget. Please let me know if I’ve missed you. @designmaketeach
