The NERDY DERBY to be held at World Maker Faire New York 2012.

Presented by NYU’s Interactive Telecommunications Program (ITP).

The Nerdy Derby is a no-rules miniature car building and racing competition inspired by the Cub Scouts’ Pinewood Derby. With a larger, more undulating track and no restrictions on the size of the cars or materials participants can use, the Nerdy Derby rewards creativity, cleverness and ingenuity.

The first-ever Nerdy Derby will take place at World Maker Faire New York on September 29th and 30th at the New York Hall of Science in Queens. Visitors can bring their own cars to race, choose from a selection of pre-built cars, or make their cars on site in our workshop.

The first trial race was a ton of fun, can’t wait till the faire.

Great video Roops.
