I would like the lesson plans and to attend, but New York is a bit of a hike from Wisconsin. Is there anyway I could get a copy of the lessons?
Thanks
Marty
I would like to echo Robby’s comment and that I am also in Wisconsin. Thank you!

Ditto for me — I’m a teacher and I would love to attend, but I can’t afford to fly to NY right now, especially as I will probably be paying for the 3D printer I want to build for classroom use. Any talk of a live stream for this? Or posting the lesson plans? Thanks for doing this!

It appears the event is sold out, but I will be working with one or two of the teachers attending in an after school all-girls robotics club this fall. Is there any room for a fly on the wall?
