That’s a wrap for the Edinburgh Mini Maker Faire, and there was some amazing makers here showing off their creations and the quality of those exhibiting here was really high. Even if I’d had all day, and I did, I couldn’t have seen half the the exhibits here at the Faire, with a lot of drop-in activities for the younger makers here in Edinburgh.
However I did manage to talk to some of the makers here,
- The Darwin Toolbox
- The maker behind the life-size WALL-E
- The founder of the Edinburgh Tool Library
- Making stuff with SplatForm
- Building underwater ROVs
but there was no way I could have managed to talk to everyone. Maybe next year?
