Look who came to MakerFaire 2014

It’s not every day that you get to paint with an internationally renowned artist. But that was just one of the many delights of our Poughkeepsie Mini MakerFaire yesterday.

Here is PDS parent Nestor Madalengoita creating a portrait of Eleanor Roosevelt with the help of many hands of all ages.

And what a day it was! So many more stories and pictures on their way.

Thank you organizers, volunteers and all the wonderful makers who came to PDS yesterday.
