This post is coming to you live from the Edinburgh Mini Maker Faire—returning to Edinburgh for the second time—being held at the Summerhall here this weekend as part of the Edinburgh International Science Festival.

I caught up with Maaroof Fakhri—one of the organisers’ of today mini Maker Faire and asked him what you should see if you’re coming to the faire…
