I have 2 really cool projects for this weeks How-to Tuesday. One is the Drawdio kit by Adafruit Industries, the other build is a modification of Drawdio called “Unruly.” These are great projects to make with your kids. Although, when you are done you most likely will not be too willing to share it. It’s just that much fun!

The Bay Area Lego Users Group builds creations of every size and type imaginable, exclusively using Lego blocks. From entire neighborhoods of buildings, to a scale reproduction of the battleship Yamato, they had plenty on hand to show at Maker Faire Bay Area 2011. At their meetings they often have competitions to test their building prowess, in events such as coaster cars and structural stability on their very own “earthquake table.”
