Imagine a geekier version of Burning Man, filled with tinkerers like GenSpace, a community-based biotech lab in Downtown Brooklyn; spectacles like a live version of the Mousetrap board game; and craftyheads who’ll teach you to sew a skirt in an hour, and you’ll have a vision of Maker Faire, which returns to the New York Hall of Science this weekend. Tickets to this mix of Mr. Wizard-type experiments and quirky spectacles are $25 for one day, but you can save by buying the $50 Sunday Family Pass for 5 people; there’s enough here to entertain toddlers and adults.
