Jersey Shore Makerfest 2017
14 Oct - 10:00 AM
Toms River, United States
The Jersey Shore Makerfest was founded by Toms River Regional Schools in 2015 and has drawn over 8000 attendees and more than 200 makers. It is held in their 3500-seat arena and adjacent spaces in Toms River High School North. Makerfest includes:
a 3000-square foot makerspace, where creative minds of all ages can play-work with a variety of tools and materials
75 “booths” organized by students, educators, and community members who consider themselves makers offering hands-on, interactive experiences that reflect the mission of their school or organization.
20-minute inspirational EdTalks
1-hour workshops in our LearningSpace and BuilderSpace
robotics demonstrations and competitions in our Roborena (aka main gymnasium)
New this year: the Jersey Shore Hackathon and the Toms River United Sustainability Team Green Fair, to take place concurrently with Makerfest.
Participants have joined us from around the tri-state area, from cooks to floral designers, from hobbyists to professionals, from fruit computer companies to Rutgers University professors to public school students and teachers. Model trains and 3D printers mix with insects, lasers, and clothes made of paper. You can learn to control a robot (before they control us!), find out how to do kitchen science, spin with wool, or fly a drone. At Makerfest, experiencing is believing!
If it's free, why should I register?
Thanks to generous sponsors who cover the costs of set up, equipment, and materials (and sometimes competition prizes), our event is free to both attendees and makers. Pre-registration helps us estimate our attendees so we know how many sponsorships we need to cover costs. It will also allow us to contact you with information leading up to the event. We will never take advantage of your contact information by sending excessive messages unrelated to the event nor share that information with anyone else!
In addition, once you register you can print your own ticket; bring that ticket to Makerfest and turn it in at our ticket booth to enter to win one of ten robot package prizes!

Super Happy Dev House #NYC1
23 Sep - 06:00 PM
Brooklyn, United States
In the future, humans will live in dense hyperbuildings called arcologies, sustainably integrated into our environments, made of modern materials.
How do we design our physical spaces to be configurable and programmable? What cryptocoins and autonomous contracts will fund and govern our art collectives? What kinds of stories or music or art will we perform for each other using tools ancient and post-apocalyptic? Bring your imagination, your laptop, your music makers, or your art supplies to explore with us. Write a story, make some songs, code some code.
This is a hacker after-party in Bushwick for the World Maker Faire in nearby Queens. We will discuss progress toward building a real-life Arcology here in NYC as a co-created, self-modifying home, where researchers, crafters, artists, coders, hackers, makers, startuppers, carpenters, gardeners, cooks, and poets can thrive together.
Here's what you can expect
Super Happy Dev House is an inclusive event intended for creative and curious people interested in technology. We're about knowledge sharing, technology exploration, and ad-hoc collaboration. Come to have fun, build things, learn things, and meet new people. It's called hacker culture, and we're here to encourage it. Hacking is not just limited to software projects: design, electronics, coffee, robots, artsy craftsy things, 3D printing, are all welcome.
We'll have comfy couches, plenty of tables and desks, power strips, fast wifi, a spacious rooftop, and some great people to hack with. Please bring a project to work on, or be prepared to help someone else with their project! Unlike normal hackathons, you are encouraged to work on weird ideas with no business plan and to continue work on existing projects to push them even further.
We will begin at 6pm right after World Maker Faire in nearby Queens, and go all night through to Sunday morning. You are free to come and go throughout the evening, and sleeping bags/pads are welcome to spend the night! On Saturday night, we'll start rounding up volunteers to give 5 minute lightning talks at 10pm.
Super Happy Dev House is organized by the Invisible College, a distributed research lab and arcology-in-the-making. It follows in a line of hacker parties from Seattle hosted by Kathleen Tuite, Adam Smith, and Paul Pham.
