If you attended last year’s kickoff at Dilworth Park, you know it shouldn’t be missed. If you didn’t? Well, let’s just say the video games and interactive tech exhibits got more attention than the beer garden. And in Philly, that’s really saying something.
Standouts were Hive76 and their giant Connect Four, Crossfire and mysterious orange man. Another crowd favorite was the Department of Making + Doing (RIP) bringing back a childhood favorite with a life-size Spirograph.
Last year was fun (pics below), but this year is going to be better.
