Visitors will be able to get hands-on experience at the Technology Playground, experiencing emerging technology and new inventions from over 70 brands representing 3D printing, robotics, future food and much more. Highlights include a fully solar-powered car, a 500-foot electric skateboard racetrack, a 40-person virtual reality theater and a 2,000 square-foot drone arena, as well as the world’s most socially advanced artificially intelligent robot named BINA48.

Brooklyn-based artists will showcase their work, in form of art installations and live art. Attendees can partake in an interactive art experience and splash light on a 20-foot diameter canvas, watch the floating clouds and skyscape shift in a monet-esque reflection, or compose their own symphony by rearranging the light cubes of a room-scale installation piece.
