Featured speaker Hod Lipson—3D printing expert!
Hod Lipson is a Cornell professor of engineering and co-author of Fabricated: The New World of 3D printing. His research projects focus on two “grand challenges” of engineering: (a) Can we design machines that can design other machines?, and (b) Can we make machines that can make other machines? His work on self-aware and self-replicating robots, food printing, and bio-printing has received widespread media coverage, including The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, Newsweek, Time, CNN, and National Public Radio. Lipson has co-authored more than 200 technical papers and speaks frequently at high-profile venues such as TED and the US National Academies. He directs Cornell’s Creative Machines Lab, which pioneers new ways to make machines that create, and machines that are creative.

About the 33st Annual CAACNY Book Awards
Each year, CAACNY selects ten Cornell Book Award winners from a group of outstanding juniors nominated by the high schools in Onondaga and Madison counties.  Winners receive The Elements of Style, originally written in 1918 by William Strunk, a Cornell English professor, and later revised by one of his students, E.B. White ’21 (Charlotte’s Web).  With more than 10 million copies sold, it is widely regarded as one of the most influential and best-known English writing style manuals of all time.
