World Maker Faire was awesome! We reunited with so many far flung community members as well as met tons of new folks. Great representation from teachers, too. We had an amazing crew demonstrating spectrometers and aerial mapping, namely Katie Gradowski, Zach Hirschritt, Sara Farmer, Eymund Diegel, Gena Wirth, Jen Hudon, Stefan "Dogi" Unterhauser, Jeremy, Alex Hoekstra, Will Ward, Don Blair. Check out the link to our live streamed panel presentation.
