Crowds are flocking to this year’s latest hit activity, the Nerdy Derby. Brought to you by the students of NYU’s Interactive Telecommunications Program, this no-rules miniature car building area is inspiring a lot of young makers to stop by and make their very own derby car. Cars are then RFID-tagged and sent down the giant Arduino-powered track.

Winners will be awarded in various categories, not just speed, and races will take place in heats today and tomorrow at 3pm!
