World Maker Faire at NY Hall of Science, Part 2

On Sunday, we started our Maker Faire adventure in the kid's area. Mikro made a simple animation and built a stomp rocket, and looked at some cool creepy crawly inspired sculpture.

Then we headed off to the Young Makers Pavilion for a workshop on 3D Printing. Mikro got to use Tinkercad software to design and build a 3 dimensional object using a Makerbot Replicator 3D Printer.
