How-to Tuesday: Drawdio meets Unruly [2 for Tuesday]

How-to Tuesday: Drawdio meets Unruly [2 for Tuesday]

I have 2 really cool projects for this weeks How-to Tuesday. One is the Drawdio kit by Adafruit Industries, the other build is a modification of Drawdio called “Unruly.” These are great projects to make with your kids. Although, when you are done you most likely will not be too willing to share it. It’s just that much fun!

Building with the Bay Area Lego Users Group: BAYLUG

The Bay Area Lego Users Group builds creations of every size and type imaginable, exclusively using Lego blocks. From entire neighborhoods of buildings, to a scale reproduction of the battleship Yamato, they had plenty on hand to show at Maker Faire Bay Area 2011. At their meetings they often have competitions to test their building prowess, in events such as coaster cars and structural stability on their very own “earthquake table.”

Education Day at Maker Faire Bay Area 2011

Education Day at Maker Faire Bay Area 2011

Education Day is opportunity for schools from near and far to bring their students to a sneak preview of Maker Faire. Some of our most engaging makers hosted 1600 kids and everyone had an amazing time. The students roamed from exhibit to exhibit learning about physics, chemistry, and technology. Special thanks to Sasha for interviewing student visitors.
