Just in case you have any last-minute entries to submit, the Call for Makers has been extended until this Friday, August 24th (see below).

There's also the Open Hardware Summit on the Thursday, Sept 27th: http://summit.oshwa.org/

Who else (obviously I'm going) plans on going to either or both?

> JUST A FEW WORLD MAKER FAIRE HIGHLIGHTS
> 
> Faire visitors are in for a big treat with over 500 Makers—many new to the event—who will be sharing their latest creations and stories of DIY ingenuity.  As always, there is something for everyone at World Maker Faire.
> 
> Power Racing Series:  This exciting Power Series (think back to your childhood!) race will provide some heart-stopping and hilarious excitement as drivers take their mad creations ‘round the track for the win!
> 3D Printing Village:  Check out the latest models of 3D printers and learn all about this newly affordable form (and exploding marketplace) of additive manufacturing. See Makers print out cupcakes, humanoid robots, car parts, and much much more. 
> Life Size Mousetrap! A triumph of engineering and artistry, the Mousetrap is a wonder to behold.  And it’s so fun!  Combining performance art with Newtonian physics, it’s a spectacle delivering engineering super fun to the Maker Faire audience.
> NYSCI Village: NYC’s hands-on science center presents a sampler of activities, demonstrations and experiments including a forced perspective photobooth, genetics gaming, underwater rovers and more.
> Nerdy Derby:  NYU’s Interactive Telecommunications Program will host a special Nerdy Derby at the event.  What’s a Nerdy Derby?  It’s a miniature car building and racing competition inspired by the pinewood derbies of school days past.  The competition rewards creativity, cleverness, and ingenuity—and there are no restrictions on the cars!
