Mini Maker Talks
by Makielab, Matt Webb, L Johnston, Codeclub, Tom Armitage, Donna Comerford, Genevieve Smith-Nunes aka Pegleggen and Matt Locke
Maker Faire is a brilliant opportunity to meet creative, resourceful and skilled people. This year we decided to run a series of talks by makers who will tell us about their creative process. How do they deal with problems? Where do they get their ideas from? How do they think through making? Whether you’re a veteran maker yourself, or just curious about how other people think you’re bound to be inspired.

Technology Will Save Us Thirsty Plant Workshop
Make a Thirsty Plant Detector at Maker Faire. Do you want to treat your plants kindly? Be as good as you can be to them? Or at the very least water them when they’re thirsty??? Wouldn’t it be grand if they would turn a little light on to tell you when they were dry? If so, then join us for this DIY technology workshop!
We will make our own sensors from scratch and connect them to a solar powered circuit that turns an LED on when the poor plants are thirsty. You will do some very basic electronics and play with solar power while making something useful.
All the electronic components, sensors materials and instruction are included.
