Open Lab Review

Join the Buzzfeed Open Lab fellows for a night of creative technology, storytelling and wearable sousveillance hosted by the Hybrid Lab and Digital Craft Lab at California College of the Arts. This year's Open Lab fellows have been working since October and we're thrilled to show you what we've built so far.
