If you missed David Neevel at Maker Faire, you missed out. David, who created one of the funniest videos of 2013, showed off his “email guitar” at Maker Faire. The notes he plays on his flying V guitar type out words on an attached computer. Read (and listen) about it here.
Oakland’s Lighthouse Community Charter School is turning out some great young makers. If you attended Maker Faire this past week you might have run into Lighthouse students displaying a solar-powered scooter. (It started out as a go kart, but someone stole the chassis) and an EV truck project. The school’s teachers are no slouches either. This week one of the students’ instructors, Aaron Vanderwerff, was named “inspirational teacher of the year”
