Projects from the Roll Call

  • Jose won the Raspi hackathon, with the Gruntmaster 6000. A mindwave headset and a screen force users to concentrate, and the setup takes their picture for posterity.

    • Thanks ShareLab!
  • Joseph hosted a workshop where girls built a geodesic dome from 3D printed hubs. Look for it at Maker Faire!
