Last night, we hosted our second annual Open Source Science Fair. Our exhibitors showed off their projects using everything from laptops and tablets to custom-made Arduino controllers and robots to tri-fold display boards and glitter glue. After taking a break for dinner, we heard from our keynote speakers Dan Sinker, Haleigh Sheehan and Hilary Mason.
Of course, no science fair is complete without prizes â€" the exhibitors scooped up the following awards:
- People’s Choice: NYPL Labs
- Best in Show: CSV Soundsystem
- Swagmasters: Adam Hyland and Mike Pennisi
- New Tricks Award: Adam Lehman
- Best Use of Ostriches: Aidan Feldman
- Dress Code Award: Gilt
- Most Sciencey Board: Jonathan Soma
- Mad Computer Scientist: Joseph Moore
- Out of this World Award: Meteor
- Chart-tastic Award: Novus
- Data Liberation Front Award: Tabula
- Best Project from our Sponsor: Erika Owens from Knight-Mozilla OpenNews
We also had a few NYTimes exhibitors: Andrew Canaday, Elizabeth Ramirez and Michael Laing gave us a glimpse into their work on WebSockets and news data analytics.
