The WCK Team visited NY and participated in the World Maker Faire!  For a review of the event including lots of photos of some of the creativity - including Thundersteeds, creative clothing, robots & more....check out my article here:  http://tinyurl.com/32nwsk5

We taped several episodes to share in the coming weeks, and also assisted attendees in about a zillion fabulous make & takes sponsored by Elmer's, Plaid Industries, Blumenthal Lansing, and DIYBangles!  Attendees commented that ours was the best booth there and our make & takes were better than any others offered - which was a huge complement especially since the competition was full of creative greats like Martha Stewart Living!
