Gamification Maker Faire 2012 Highlights – Jerry the Bear
Without going to far into detail, this year’s Maker Faire at New York City’s Corona Park was absolutely incredible. I’ve been to the Hall of Science as a young child but over 15 years later, I felt as if I were transformed back into a child re-experiencing a world of wonder. However, this time – it wasn’t only the world of science I relived, I experienced the pinnacle of human creativity and engineering amassed by a wonderful eclectic group of engineers, artists, geeks, children, and parents all brought together to experience each other’s projects. The first story I would like to share today is from Sproutel co-founder, Aaron Horowitz, and his story about Jerry the Bear.
