Maker Faire Austin Pictures

lovely sign for the show barn

We had a wonderful time at Maker Faire Austin. I've put some pictures and videos up in this flickr set for your enjoyment.

Electrified Monopoly Maker Faire Austin

Our neighbors at Maker Faire were Kris and Carly who were doing very fun things with LEDs, like making Monopoly more fun by lighting up when you land on certain squares. The no-solder wiring system was very clever, and the flashing blue and red lights in jail were perfect.

Maker Faire Austin It's the gnomes that make it perfect

This cute little robotics platform stopped by for a visit, but in order to see most of the rest of the faire we had to pry ourselves away from our table, which was tough. There was a nice collection of art cars, including this Chia Car. Maker Faire is wonderfully overwhelming, and we didn't take very many pictures. Luckily, many other people took pictures too, and you can check lots of them out on flickr.

What was the 'clever no-solder wiring system' used on the Monopoly board? Looking at the photo, it seems it could involve twisting the leads together with wire, then using heat-shrink tubing to keep them in place. Or was it some other way?
