Maker Faire is in town!

The Maker Faire is back in town! We loved so much it last year that we just had to go back again, and yes, my old friends the Daleks were there again!

We dropped in to Chinatown for some food first before Lori grabbed a quick Taiwanese bubble tea for the short walk across town. We arrived at the Centre for Life and there was so much great stuff to see & do. Lots of clever people who'd make the most amazing gadgets and robots, often out of the most unlikely of materials.

We made pipe-cleaner sheep and Lori tried to hook one on the "Sheep Rescue" game, there was a big Lego model of a train station and all sorts of other weird and wonderful technology-based attractions. A great day out and, if you haven't been before, a must-see if they come back again next year!

Bubble tea!



Six marching, drumming David Bowies!




Fire-breathing robot dragon and the strangest bike I've ever seen!






The silver drummers were amazing!




Mummy tried the Brain Machine - it was no use, they couldn't find one (HA!)


High-fiving my favourite alien


Robot made of wheelie bins? Yep, Binbot.


Making a right racket - all in the name of science


Standing guard so people wouldn't hassle my golden friend.
