Visualizing.org is proud to have held the inaugural Visualizing Marathon: a 24-hour student data visualization competition in NYC. Inspired by robotics competitions and science fairs, the Marathon was created to give design students an opportunity to collaborate and use design to help tackle real-world issues. It was a fun and intense weekend full of speakers, performances, and of course, the actual competition. The Marathon was held over the Oct 22-24 weekend at Eyebeam in New York.

Addie and Stefan demonstrate Lasersaur at Maker Faire Bay Area 2011. Lasersaur is an open source laser cutter the team made after learning a laser cutter would be cost prohibitive for them personally. Using easily reproducible parts, the Lasersaur is intended to be built by other users and subsequently improved upon.
