Makers from Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia, or Poland Needed for TEDx
Rūta Kruliauskaitė says: Do you need a tank to change a city? Maybe. But for now let’s call it Plan B.

Maker Faire & Make: Live on the Engadget Show

As Tom handed me the injection molded plastic part I noticed the paper packaging– featuring its “Makey nominated” status.
