Day One
It's Paul, BOoM cohort, and brother, and Mike...
Mike is the man behind the brilliant AR-Duo, the Steampunk remote controlled rover, and our 2016 San Diego Maker Faire partner.
Actually, we go back further than that!
After hours, Maria and I visited our booth neighbors from the City of Carlsbad.
Carlsbad City Library has an Exploration Hub, with fabulous opportunities to explore more make activities, like 3D printing, sewing, and photo archiving.
Carlsbad City Library generously provided fun supplies for making
out of this world father's day cards!
Day Two
Back for a closer look at the captivating
Electric Art and Molten Metal exhibit. These photographs are of live-active
Lichtenberg burns.
Well, if you are going to
play with a fad, go with DIY... Maria loved customizing and building her own
fidget spinner, with
Steamy Tech, at their Kinetic Art booth.
We love
Junkcade!
Visiting Two35, with Ava, and learning about their computer kits and curriculum that
teach the fundamentals of computer hardware and software.
Benevolent Order of Makers had a good time and great success teaching
crochet, and then we got lessons, too! This sweet and talented woman had plenty to share with us about making!
A new dress! It's wonderful what discoveries and connections can be made at a Maker Faire.
Our
Paperclay tutorials and play were a big hit. Treasure had loads of fun... check out the princess she made. When her clay is dry, she can paint it with acrylic craft paints!
Hey,
Gritter!
It's always a pleasure to hang out with
Russel, the Electric Giraffe. Maria and I get nostalgic when we see the Electric Giraffe, since he was one of the first, and
biggest inspirations for us to join the Maker movement, back at our first visit to a Maker Faire, in 2010.
Thanks to our hosts,
Antique Gas and Steam Engine Museum, and the Mini Maker Faire organizers of the
San Diego Makers Guild.
