As promised, here’s a big old giant blog post of all the stuff we got up to at Comic Con this weekend. A big shout out to the whole team for pulling together and getting this happening!
First, Day 1.
Hackerspace members were involved in two presentations on Saturday. April gave a talk about using 3D printers in the morning and in the afternoon Andy and Dayle talked about robot building. We had a dedicated team on the booth with lots of interest in 3D printing and the maker movement in general!
…And it was never that clean and empty again…
Soon!
