{joomplu:225}That's right folks there's a Make Night is happening in Science Gallery on Wednesday 25th August (6-8pm). Just TWO days away! or if you are reading this in the future (wow!) possibly less! 

The idea of a "Make Night" is simple - come along to the Science Gallery and make ANYTHING you like, in the company of other "makers" doing the same. Share ideas, materials and tools. Show off your projects and learn from the experience of others. Drink coffee and talk to friendly creative people. Engineers, artists, jam makers, glue and glitter experts all welcome. Pick a project, get your materials together and join in the fun.

It's a chance to show off your skills or get a little more done on that project you were working on but is now in a cupboard. You know the one, yes that one! by the way it needs more LEDs

Past Make nights have included:Iced Cupcakes, fire breathing robots, origami, crocheting coral, sewing handbags, Shark themed melon sculptures, Catapults, Poetry, milk bottle musical instruments, hot air balloons, guitar pedals.

As always its free, just bring your materials and get making.

So I'm going to be talking at  091labs in Galway this Saturday (21st August) at 2:30pm as part of the hackerspace week events happening down there. Its likely a little about robotics and some of the projects I've worked on will fall out of my mouth followed by a make night (during the day :)) and a robotics workshop for those interested. I'll be getting the hoverbus back to Dublin in time for another make night on Wednesday (6pm-8pm) up in our usual  Science Gallery home.

If you don't catch me on either coast, I'll be representing the Irish Robotics Club at Electric Picnic. There I'll be giving an EL wire Workshop on the 4th of September in the Science Gallery tent (mindfields)

We'll also be rescheduling an brief introduction to Robotics workshop, so people can meet and get on the right track for entering  "Robotic Arena" competition in Wroclaw, Poland in November. Post about this will be up soon
