From my friend Brent Bushnell of Two Bit Circus:
A modern take on the traveling circus, STEAM Carnival is a crazy reimagining of the classic carnival using high-tech amusement and amazing inventions. Attractions include a midway loaded with lasers mazes, walls of buttons, huge leisure games, a Fireball Dunk Tank, a robot bartender and other interactive experiences. There are also hands-on workshops, contests, and artisanal carnival food. The inaugural event is in Los Angeles 10/25-10/26. On 10/23 there's a special Hacker Preview — a free sneak peak of STEAM Carnival aimed specifically at developers, entrepreneurs, and engineers. IBM is sponsoring and has allocated prize money for app demos relating to games, art, music, and learning. They'll get exposure to a large audience, and could actually win money!
