Visiting the Maker Faire NYC this weekend with a couple of really bright kids, 8 & 12. It looks like we can go one of the days. Any advice?

ArcAttack! and Coke Zero+Mentos are two big things that you won't want to miss (they only run once a day each, I think, so make sure you check the schedule).

Do the learn to solder/Maker badge thing.

One of the smaller exhibits that I really liked was the CSI tent, I don't know if they're there this year. Also the Wolfram|Alpha booth had some really neat swag last year.

Last year it said no food/drinks, but if you have a water bottle then you can refill it at the water fountain inside the museum, rather than standing in the very long lines at the food carts.

Oh yeah, and check out Evil Mad Scientist (probably inside the museum).
