When Intel Partnered with Maker-Style DIY Inventors

When Intel Partnered with Maker-Style DIY Inventors
Here’s a virtual blast from the past showing images and video clips from a time when the Intel Developer Forum (IDF) hosted maker-like DIY inventions.

COVID-19 has prevented any travel for the near future, but that doesn’t mean we can’t revisit the recent past. In this “Virtual Tech Travel Log,” I’ve set the way-back machine for September 9, 2014. The destination is (was) a three-day event known as the Intel Developer Forum or IDF. Interestingly enough, this was a time when another virus was troubling the world, namely, the Ebola epidemic. However, it was business as usual throughout the west coast as the Ebola crisis had a far lesser impact on the US than today’s COVID-19.

This video highlights what caught my attention at the Intel Developer Forum in 2014. If you attended this event, let me know what you saw that piqued your interest.
