Makerfaire 2015 Puzzle Game
For Makerfaire 2015 there was a puzzle that steered people to both the indoor and outdoor exhibits, and got them to learn a bit about i3, before coming to the party to claim their laser-cut keychain.

Welcome to the 2015 puzzle!
Anyone with a smartphone and a good pair of walking shoes should be able to solve this puzzle and win a nifty prize (while supplies last), claimable at i3’s party Saturday night. To play:
When you solve each step, you’ll be left with a word or phrase. Replace the end of the URL with that new word, and you’ll advance to the next stage.
For example, if the puzzle was “What horse won the Triple Crown in 1973?”, you’d change
https://www.i3detroit.org/makerpuzzle/
to
https://www.i3detroit.org/secretariat/
And voila, on that page would be step two!
All answers will be lower-case (even if they’re proper names or acronyms) with no punctuation or symbols.
Clue 1:
Part of i3Detroit’s indoor presence at Maker Faire is a section called the Gallery, featuring projects in traditional and modern media alike. What’s the 3-letter word for aesthetic creations?
/art
Well done! You are at step two.
This didn’t make it to the Faire this year, but it just needs to be seen. When creative types of all stripes join forces under one roof, the results…. well, the results speak for themselves:

Sometimes the art at i3 is a little weird. HINT FOR LATER:
Pay close attention or take lots of pictures of i3’s indoor stuff, it may save you some time later!
