The Annual Promethean Science Fair - TeslaCon 2011
In the search for the best and the brightest, the Society holds a science fair every year at TeslaCon. We encourage people to submit their creations. All are welcome! Submissions are categorized as working gadgets (an automated croquet mallet, for example), non-working gadgets (if you want to claim your time-traveling bracelet actually works, you're going to have to demonstrate), gun creation and modification (including repaints), and eyewear (goggles, monacles, etc.).
Submissions from 2011 are displayed below. If one of these creations is yours and you would like to add or amend information, please contact Baroness Strange (Cassie Beyer) on Facebook. This includes information on first and second place winners, which has apparently been misplaced by the Baroness.
